Ey,

I am using blender3d to build an interface for a puredata synth, and
have been experimenting with this for a year or so. I just use regular
python sockets inside GameBlender to send udp packets to netreceive in
puredata (and visa-versa to trigger 3d events from the music). You can
see my beta sequencer interface here:

The script to set up a socket to send/receive udp packets with is comms.py
in that directory. The screenshot is of using a usb gamepad to write
a beat.

I played a gig with that synth + evolution midi controller at Linux Conf
Australia last year, but unfortunately the blender3d visuals weren't
working.

Best regards,

Chris.
