Those screenshots look awesome. I have used Purdata for sequencing stuff myself, and have created abstractions for doing all kinds of envelope stuff and written two CDs worth of tunes in just Puredata with no additional software. I think I understand it's raw power by now. :) For this project though, I *want* to be bound to MIDI-enforced notions of what is a track, what is a folder of tracks, what is a region, etc.. I don't want to have full access to the data for further massaging/accessing. I want to sit down and just play without having to spend ages patching together permanancy solutions with my right brain whilst playing music with my left brain. I am trying something different that I've never tried before, and pure Pd is not useful for what I want to do here (though it is useful for a lot of other music I write). > > > so what > > > I need is an application that I can send midi notes and controller data > > > through, which will remember them and pass them on to Puredata > > for this i like rradical-style figure-8 abstraction to timestamp events and shuttle them onto storage - you can alligator-clip them anywhere in a patch, instead of having to keep track of midiout's and range remapping into/out-of midi and the subsequent resolution loss.. That's cool; I use something very similar when do I knob-tweaking-experimental-algorithmic-music and it's lots of fun! Thanks for taking the time to reply.
