I am just a lowly Pd user, not a dev. How would I use libpd? Does it work just like Pd, but embeddable in other devices? or are we talking lines of code?<div><br></div><div>thanks<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Mar 20, 2011 at 2:04 PM, Rich E <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:reakinator@gmail.com">reakinator@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Oh, cool, I wasn't aware of that. Can you tell a bit more about the performance<br>
of this approach and how it compares to dynamic patching for dynamic instantiation<br>
of objects/patches?<br>

The biggest bonus for me is that you can instantiate the patches in an object-orientated manner (and in an object orientate language like python, java, obj-c, c++, etc), on the fly. Doing this with dynamic patching involved using workarounds (like deleting to contents of a subpatch in order to just delete an embedded patch) which seemed awkward and bug prone. Lastly, the $0 value that libpd recovers lets you send signals or messages to a unique patch, without the need of [namecanvas] - a method that causes a bag full of problems in itself when it comes to dynamic patch loading/unloading. <div>
