Hi Alexandre,
But anyway, I'm confused as to what is your idea behind it, or the
general idea in the community of cyclone users. Let us talk about it then.
This also touches the issue with [average~], as there was a resistance
to make it a proper clone of the Max object as a priority. You were
making remarks such as:
Compatibility is limited to a very old version of Max/MSP.
That really confused me, as a Max 7 user...
Why? If any version of Max/MSP looks like Pd, it is 4.6 (or maybe
earlier versions, but I don't have access to those...).
Forme this makes backward compatibility more important
than with an obsolete Max/MSP version.
About [average~], the thing is that was wrong to begin with, it couldn't
load max patches in the first place, it should have been signal all along.
I agree average~ was wrong all along. But it has been wrong wrong for
about twelve years. I do not want to invalidate twelve years of patches.
If you want to copy a Max patch with average~ in Pd, you could use
another object or an abstraction. PureData is supposed to be a tool to
help understand DSP technique and make creative sounds. Not to be able
to blindly copy Max/MSP patches.
Seemed like defining cyclone as a way to load patches from max 4 - but
then agreeing you can't do that anymore and just disregarding the idea
that the objects should be proper clones as a priority.
Indeed, for me backward compatibility more important than Max/MSP
compatibility.
*_In short, my take on cyclone's purpose: to be a set of objects cloned
from max (up to the latest version), with the same features and
functionalities where possible._*
Another reason is the limited time I can spend on maintaining cyclone.
The 4.6 functionality is a useful, but somewhat arbitrary guiding
principle. And as you observed, most of the missing objects are not that
essential...
But enough typing opinions for now, I prefer to do some improvement on
cyclone objects tonight :-).
cheers
Greetings,
Fred Jan
