Thanks for the advice. I am not sure I understand how to get the callback functions for pd to interface with the cocoa API, but I'll give a crack at it later tonight and see how far I get (first time doing anything in obj-c). For me, I don't really care about elegance as much as that it will do everything that I want it to do (and fast).<br>

</div></div>you can mix C-code and ObjC-code just fine in your .m file (that is: you<br>
can use C in ObjC; you cannot use ObjC in your C)<br>
<br>
so basically you write everything in ObjC, but the callback-functions<br>
for Pd (which are written in C)<br>
i guess there are more elegant ways to do it, but this is how i would do it.<br>
