In real life, that means I am running schearnet on my 62 BogoMIPS ARM router and have it send UDP packets on the LAN interface to my workstation which runs SuperCollider (and also JACK of course) while monitoring the WAN interface. As a added benefit, the SynthDef "hearnet" can be redefined at runtime while schearnet is doing its job, so I can even experiment with the grain envelope and so on while the whole thing is going. Grab it here: http://delysid.org/schearnet.html BTW, if the remote machine you want to run schearnet on has only one network interface, by default, schearnet will capture its own output traffic which results in a high-pitched noise :-). To prevent this, use the filter expression, so for example, if you run schearnet on a box and the SuperCollider server is on 172.23.1.32 you could do: schearnet eth0 172.23.1.32 "not (dst host 172.23.1.32 and udp dst port 57110)" P.S.: Soooo, who knows how to easily decode a IP packets protocol number? Wouldnt it be sweet to have a separate instrument for each protocol? -- CYa, Mario
