And Dan, I also share your frustration with the common attitude on
this list of "it is what it is". That's why I am working on re-
writing the Pd GUI from scratch in pure Tcl with the aim of making it
use Tcl/Tk is a clean and sensible manner (aka Pd-devel 0.41.4). I
think you should join the project. Instead of venting via email, vent
via code.

Ok, where do I sign up? As I said before, if anyone knows of any places

I can apply to in order to focus on it full time, I'm interested. I have known of your efforts<BR>
for a while, but I haven't wanted to commit a small amount of time, I'd rather dive in head <BR>
first. I don;t want to waste anyone's time telling them I can do this and that knowing full <BR>
well I won't really end up doing anything.

As for replacing Pd with SuperCollider or C/rtaudio, are you sure that
those are any more efficient? Pd does have its problems, but audio
synthesis is pretty solid in Pd. For example, reactable still uses Pd
as its synth engine.

I totally agree, that's why I keep sticking with pd. I can't imagine being able to make anything<BR>
nearly as efficient as the pd dsp engine. That being said, I wish it wasn't being pummled by<BR>
the gui. I very much like this idea of a libpd with the engine totally separate.<BR>
