Quoting Kassen
I'm not sure I understand how this would be different from OSC or MIDI.
It's kind of my whole point, in that it is a lot different (at least for me). This is from a draft article for Cycling 74 I'm just finishing: -------------- I'd like to make two final comments. The first is a plea to developers, and the second is a goad to Max/MSP users. For developers: think shared libraries and loadable bundles! The Soundflower routing for SC3 above works, but I would much prefer to access SC3 functionality directly from within Max/MSP. Or (for that matter) I wouldn't mind being able to access all of Max/MSP within SC3. The basic idea is that I like the tight-coupling that can be gained through the imbedding of one application directly inside another. I've used network approaches in other instances in the past, and although they work well for most situations, the ability to integrate control very closely can lead to much better standalone interfaces and applications. I would love to see the day when bringing in an external application is a simple matter of bundling it properly, finding the right entry-points, and then using the application completely inside an alternative development environment. -------------- OSC drives me crazy, by the way. brad http://music.columbia.edu/~brad
