“MSP Learns to Ride a Bike”:

“mxj~ is interesting because it shows a higher-level model for
developing signal processing objects where the programmer can fill in
a few Java classes and have a working object. It also supports a model
for dynamic patching of DSP routines that we hope will be the basis of
a future MSP.”

Please could you explain what does mean “It also supports a model for
dynamic patching of DSP routines” ?

Is this a way to allocate on the fly dynamic DSP objects similar to
what Supercollider does ?

All the best

you can easily build signal graphs on the fly.

externals – it’s just code – I guess the DSP cycling is an artefact
of the way Max/MSP deals with recompilation after rearrangements of
patcher cords.

by which you can create unit generators in Java, and then mix and
match those unit generators on the fly in another mxj~ object. There
currently is no simple way to load another C msp external within a C
external.

If I felt like it, I’m sure I could go away and invent some kind of
dynamic dispatching framework to allow me to load up native DLL’s for
C signal vector processing and get the same kind of mixing and
matching, but it would be hard work and awfully fiddly and messy, and
I most certainly do not feel like it…

absolutely, and it’s our hope that we can provide this kind of
framework sometime in the future.

If I remember well somebody on the list said he developed something
similar but then stopped.

Many thanks for all the replies.
