[PD] Artikulation - datastructures

[Lorenzo Sutton]

One nice thing about the unix philosophy from a cretive person's point 
of view is that you do not necessarily have to use one, monolithic tool 
(software) to do everything.
IMHO this leaves much more space to expreimentation, trial, unorthodox 
ways of doing things, eventually less standardised and less canned 
creations.

This may sound a bit provocative.. but, do we really need to do 
'everything' in Pd? For example for realtime scores this is rather 
interesting (and I must say quite appealing visually):

www.iannix.org

It uses OSC, which Pd supports (not sure what the 'out-of-the-box' 
vanilla support status is.. anyway).

For a piano + electronics (a.k.a. 'tape') piece I once used Inkscape for 
an expressive representation of the electronic part matched to the piano 
part in traditional notation... I was using qjackctrl always on top to 
play the piece and keep track of the bars, and had to hack the SVG to 
import the Lilipond score :-)

Bottom line. The best IMHO is that Pd is very interoperable at various 
levels, so JACK audio, midi, OSC, FUDI, TCP, [your favouritestandard here].

Then obviously this doesn't _exclude_ the fact that (usable) data 
structures are nice :-)

My two cents.
Lorenzo.
