And Dan, I also share your frustration with the common attitude on
this list of "it is what it is". That's why I am working on re-
writing the Pd GUI from scratch in pure Tcl with the aim of making it
use Tcl/Tk is a clean and sensible manner (aka Pd-devel 0.41.4). I
think you should join the project. Instead of venting via email,
vent
via code.
Ok, where do I sign up? As I said before, if anyone knows of any
places
I can apply to in order to focus on it full time, I'm interested. I
have known of your efforts
for a while, but I haven't wanted to commit a small amount of time,
I'd rather dive in head
first. I don;t want to waste anyone's time telling them I can do
this and that knowing full
well I won't really end up doing anything.
svn co
http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/branches/pd-devel/0.41.4
cd 0.41.4
./authgen.sh
./configure
make && ./pd
Get it running, check out the code, pick a part and write code.
Introduce yourself to pd-dev to get SVN access, if you don't have it
already.
As for replacing Pd with SuperCollider or C/rtaudio, are you sure
that
those are any more efficient? Pd does have its problems, but audio
synthesis is pretty solid in Pd. For example, reactable still uses
Pd
as its synth engine.
I totally agree, that's why I keep sticking with pd. I can't
imagine being able to make anything
nearly as efficient as the pd dsp engine. That being said, I wish
it wasn't being pummled by
the gui. I very much like this idea of a libpd with the engine
totally separate.
Check out the next external scheduler support and pdvst and make this
happen.
