[PD-dev] dynamic patching - is iemguts the way to go?

[William Brent]

Hi Nick,

I made a vanilla abstraction called [DRFX] that builds a routing matrix for
effects abstractions using dynamically created [send~]/[receive~] and
[throw~]/[catch~] busses. You have to follow some basic naming conventions
for the wireless audio busses of your inputs and effects, but then you can
just tell [DRFX] the names of your inputs and effects and it creates a GUI
routing matrix to control effect processing order. You can also control
matrix switches via control send/receive names since it sounds like you
won't want a Pd GUI. It has messages for controlling fade in/out times so
that you can make transitions as desired, and there's also functionality
for parameter presets and exporting/loading routing and parameter presets
from text files. It's been very useful for my needs in multi-FX projects.

You can find it via deken or go to the repo here:
https://github.com/wbrent/DRFX.git
The help patch and INSTRUCTIONS.pdf explain the basics if you want to check
it out and see if it's useful in your case.

William
