[PD] max for live

How much have you used Ardour+Jack+Pd+soft synths? It is structured
very differently that Ableton Live, but I think that is actually quite
competitive in terms of what you can do with it. It is a different
system that requires as much learning as Live does.
You have been able to run Pd patches in tight sync with Ardour and a
multitude of soft synths for years now. You just don't have nifty
little embeddedness. So this really seems to me more a classic
example of the core innovation happening in free software, then
proprietary software taking the ideas and packaging them really
nicely, and promoting them a lot. (I am not saying this is a bad
thing).
The iPhone is the classic version of that. The App Store is nice,
you've been able to do that on Linux-based devices since the late
nineties, but mostly with a command line interface.
