[PD] sort of off topic_ better coding

[nullpointer]

Hi All,

I sent a mail similar to this a while ago but to no response.
so I will try again..
I know this is sort of off topic but I am attempting to write audio
synthesis programs with the intention of linking them to pd.
I am very interested in tips on how to optomise code to allow for the
cpu to spend its time working on the audio generation/processing rather
than irrelevent operations.. I work on the windows platform mainly and use
c/c++.
Does anyone have any pointers that could help me e.t.c.
Thinkgs like c or c++ (which is better for audio apps)
How to deal with audio output (frame by frame at the sampling rate with
interrupts or in chunks?). Anyway any advice/sites/lists would be great...

thanks in advance.

Hello,

As far as I am concerned, I use "mididump" which is a command line rendering
a
midifile into a text. Then I wrote an "awk" script to transform again the
textfile so that it can be played by the "textfile" object.

"mididump" comes from timidity-tools a GPL package to play soundfonts.

So there are at least 2 starting points (with Joseph converter) for someone
to
write an external ;)
