Yeah, most of your points against externals sounds a bit like "they need to be maintained and that takes effort", I know... but I don't think that's a disadvantage of an external. If no one is willing to do it, that's another problem... > OK,sometimes, externals can be faster. And in sometimes, it

Nice! FWIW, in vanilla you have an array that can be used as a multislider, although it may be difficult to sometimes grab each point. In pd-l2ork you have an option of jump on click inside arrays, and a new mode of drawing arrays with individual bars whose colors can be customized. With this

Hey Raphaël Impressive work. I'm all for more advanced GUIs. I even like them being abstractions as opposed to compiled externals. I'm not so concerned about performance, since the GUI runs in a separate thread. I believe it's rather GUIs like arrays that may cause hiccups when they send much data
