What about using Pd as a C/C++ library and writing the patch that way? Or perhaps LibPd? Would this allow the patch to be compiled as a stand-alone program? Yes?
The easiest would be if there was a way to open a patch in binary form in Pd. What I’ve been envisioning would be to create “modules” for Pd similar to Reaktor’s Blocks that would allow for a more high-level patching and usage of Pd. And it could motivate developers to develop patches in a more standardized “blocks” form, rather than as unstandardised patches. Reason, I’ve been wanting to see modular synthesis properly realised in Pd. But I wouldn’t want to spend effort on developing modules that I cannot profit from, since I could do that using some other platform. -Matti > On 07 May 2016, at 20:29, Miller Puckette <m...@ucsd.edu> wrote: > > You'd have to modify Pd if you want to be able to run patches and > keep it a secret how the patch works.
