ah, I didn't say that. basically there are simple synth patches (with  
audio, all output for a main [throw~]) that take in lists with parameters.  
the lists come from a "score" of data structures arrays (for now up to 6  
parameters/arrays), at a rate of 100 a second. so I guess no midi or  
oneshot type events. anyway I'll look at your suggestions.

unrelated: since you mentioned the rj library, I think it might be  
interesting (at least for me) to pack that library in pd-extended. does  
this makes sense/is practicable for you guys?

I saw nqpoly5. but since it's not even in pd-extended, I assumed it's not  
very stable/used.

will do.
