hi thomas,
thanks for your work, and bringing future vasp direction to the
forum, and yes, i care!
1> usage:
vasp is a critical addition to most of my pd compositions these
days, i use it essentially for sample based analysis
(zero-crossings, peaks, density, etc) and minor editing and
transformations of arrays (normalize, crop, pitch shift,
enveloping, etc).
i generally have subpatches of analytical vasp objects for each
array, which operate on soundfiler action or transformation change,
and output the results as lists, which i use for algorythmic
sequencing, and interpolation information (ie. morphs)
the transformation objects are maninly used for multipurpose sample
editing, however i do generally normalize samples on array
change. i find being able to tweak and edit samples non-rt within
pd is an absolute luxury, and although pd has issues with lengthy
arrays, and is missing some graphical objects that would make
editing simpler (i'm working on it), i think this an important
extention to pd's rt focus.
2> real-time response
i prefer vasp as a background processor, so i'm not concerned by
real-time responsiveness, however this may change if i begin to use
vasp differently.
3> object structure
i like the current multi-object aproach of vasp and have found it
intuitive on learning (the documentation is great, thanks) as it
gently mirrors pd's rt object model. i'm not sure how you plan to
implement the python model, so i don't think i'd be prepared to
make a comment on which is better. certainly the multi-object model
works more seamlessly into the pd programming logic, although it
may not be the most efficient way of expressing non-rt events. i
think perhaps if i could express vasp routines in a single
scriptlet, i would use it that way, but i still believe that for
vasp to be intuitive to new users in pd it needs singular objects.
so, could you please outline your ideas for the python based vasp
so that i can better understand how the app would function.
hmm.. i think that sorta sums me up!
ciao..
