Whoops, just realized I hadn't replied to the list: It seems to me that there are two ways to maybe? accomplish what you're describing:
1) what I've explored fairly deeply is using the pd "internal messages" to create objects in a running patch from a python script over a socket connection. There's a library someone made that handles this that I can't remember the name of right now (anyone?) but I also wrote a basic thing here: https://github.com/virgildisgr4ce/PureeData 2) can you write the patch file from a script and then load it? If you haven't looked into it yet, the syntax is pretty basic. ±±±t3db0t On Feb 3, 2011, at 11:40 AM, Morgan Packard wrote: > Thanks IOHannes, > I'm interested in PD primarily as an audio engine embedded in iOS apps.
