No need for customization to use it that way, actually. It does not have the range of features that ableton live has, but I have used it successfuly as a source of realtime tweaked automations / a virtual mixing board / loop recorder and player. One thing it has that in my knowledge actually exceeds what ableton offers is the versatility of the way buses / tracks can be inter-routed. Any number of tracks and buses can be mixed into the input of any others (each track and bus of course having configurable pre / post effects), without the artificial limits that I have seen with ableton live. I made a set of ladspa plugins a while back to allow controling puredata parameters from ardour automations, it has some definite limitations usability wise but it is available from http://code.google.com/p/noisesmith-linux-audio/ or direct download my last (but not very recent) version from http://noisesmith-linux-audio.googlecode.com/files/ladosc.tar.bz2 It uses osc to send the parameter data so the ardour and pd processes can be running on two different machines. _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
