OK. What I mean is, the scripting of PD patches follows a simple formula. The objects, messages etc are numbered from 0. Inlets of objects are numbered from 0 to the last inlet, as are outlets. Connections are made thus: connect sourceobject outletnumber targetobject inletnumber simpleosc~.pd looks like this: #N canvas 0 0 450 300 10; #X obj 59 70 loadbang; #X msg 59 96 440; #X obj 59 127 osc~; #X obj 58 159 *~ 0.1; #X obj 51 202 dac~; #X connect 0 0 1 0; #X connect 1 0 2 0; #X connect 2 0 3 0; #X connect 3 0 4 0; #X connect 3 0 4 1; The #N canvas is the window (x-position y-position x-size y-size font-size). You can use netreceive to send messages to a PD patch, or you can use a script to create a text file that is a PD patch. You could use any language to write the script, or any language connected to localhost to network-communicate with PD. Please see my enclosed examples to see what I mean. simpleosc~.pd is the patch shown above. dynamic_simpleosc~.pd shows you how it can be built dynamically from within PD.
