<div dir="ltr">thanks Miller and Rich for the help. <br><br><div>We thought at first that it might be better to package all our pattern data together, but after reading what you guys have written, i can see that individual values should be the best way to go.</div>

Breaking the lists down (not all the way down, just not one giant list) will mean that the synchronization takes less time, so less chance of dropping audio packets.<div>
<br></div><div>Also, if you can, I'd store as much data as you can in pd arrays, and then send across lookup information instead. Pd arrays can also be filled from the C side as well (look for PdBase copyArray*), but keep in mind this will also require sync'ing, so you may have to watch how large the arrays are if they are being filled while audio DSP is running.</div>
