[Bluemusic-users] BlueLive Proposal

[steven yi <ste...@cs...>]

Hi all,

I've been slowly getting through the last parts of the CeciliaModule 
soundObject the past week (not as much time spend on getting work done 
as I'd like...).  I had the idea yesterday to redo blueLive's interface 
a bit to be somewhat max/jmax/pd like.  The idea would be to have some 
simple interface objects, pretty much a bang button, a toggle, a timer, 
and then the soundObject boxes.  I think what might be interesting is 
that I was thinking othat clicking on the box for the soundObject boxes 
would bring up the editor, as it does now in blueLive.  This is 
something I thought might be an interesting thing for PD to have, that 
ability for an object to have a GUI editor, thus you could have you 
typical box:

[osc~ ]

or say:

[someVst~ ]

and if you clicked on that box, you could bring up the VST's GUI in an 
area below it.  Anyways... just sketching out ideas.  Probably won't 
touch this idea for a little bit as the other soundObjects (upic, 
metasynth styled objects) are more pressing.

Any responses?  Would blueLive having capabilities more max/pd like be 
of interest?

Thanks,
steven

p.s. - I may have mentioned that blueLive didn't work on OSX, but I was 
wrong.  It works fine on OSX, just not windows.
