You have to follow some basic naming conventions for the wireless audio busses of your inputs and effects, but then you can just tell [DRFX] the names of your inputs and effects and it creates a GUI routing matrix to control effect processing order. You can also control matrix switches via control send/receive names since it sounds like you won't want a Pd GUI. It has messages for controlling fade in/out times so that you can make transitions as desired, and there's also functionality for parameter presets and exporting/loading routing and parameter presets from text files. It's been very useful for my needs in multi-FX projects.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">You can find it via deken or go to the repo here:</div><div class=""><a href="https://github.com/wbrent/DRFX.git" class="">https://github.com/wbrent/DRFX.git</a></div><div class="">The help patch and INSTRUCTIONS.pdf explain the basics if you want to check it out and see if it's useful in your case.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">William</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></div></div><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Aug 20, 2019 at 3:57 AM Nick Porcaro <<a href="mailto:nick@ccrma.stanford.edu" class="">nick@ccrma.stanford.edu</a>> wrote:<br class=""></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" class="">Hey Folks,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">It’s been a while since I’ve done any hard core work with Pd but that time has come again,</div><div class="">and I’m glad to be back on the scene!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">In the project I’m working on I need to be able to reconfigure the processing order</div><div class="">of DSP objects in a given patch on the fly:<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">For example, from this: </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">[noise~]</div><div class="">[lop~]</div><div class="">[hip~]</div><div class="">[dac~’</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class="">To this: </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">[noise~]</div><div class="">[hip~]</div><div class="">[lop~]</div><div class="">[dac~]</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Of course this is a trivial example, but it’s not if you wanted to arbitrarily reorder</div><div class="">an effects chain with 30 objects in it.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I stumbled across this paper:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://lac.linuxaudio.org/2009/cdm/Saturday/18_Zmoelnig/zmoelnig_pdreflection.pdf" target="_blank" class="">https://lac.linuxaudio.org/2009/cdm/Saturday/18_Zmoelnig/zmoelnig_pdreflection.pdf</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">and this GitHub repo <a href="https://github.com/iem-projects/pd-iemguts" target="_blank" class="">https://github.com/iem-projects/pd-iemguts</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">and it appears that iemguts might do what I need -</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">What do you all think? </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">(I posted this to the patch~ section of the Pd forum as well, and there’s some discussion going on).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">- Nick</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br class="">
