Well it's definitely a minor distinction-- I just think that the lower case reflects what's going on under the hood more closely, which is a good thing. Something else I've been wondering about...is there any reason the top of the console couldn't be a pd canvas or a gop? As it is, it's just two [tgl]s, two [vu]s, and maybe a [bng]. Other than the DIO button it's just a [dac~], [adc~], and [s pd], right? -Jonathan > > > In a similar vein: what about "audiostatus" instead of > "DIO"? > > > > -Jonathan > > I never use the DIO button and don't really know what it > is, so I left it as is ;-) As far as I can gather its > an error light for if there are communications troubles with > the audio interface. > > .hc _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
