pattr client internal data structuring

Thijs Koerselman — Tue, 05 Sep 2006 09:29:38 +0000

I’m exposing the internal data of a js built sequencer to pattr. It consists
of multiple note an cc patterns. Right now I combine all data into one big
pile, making it unreadable when viewing the pattr xml file. I like to
somehow expose the data to pattr in a way that it’s stored in different xml
nodes. Each sequence its own node for example. I suspect it isn’t possible
because you’ll need to separate the data into different pattr clients to
structure the xml file. Any suggestions? Maybe a nice feature for a future
release? I will eventually port the thing to C, so if something like this is
possible using the sdk that would be helpful too.

At this time, there’s no method for creating structured data for
pattr from a single object. I agree that this would be a nice
feature, though.

Or you could define attributes in your JS object, and use an
autopattr in greedy mode to suck them all out.

Thanks Jeremy, I’ll look into using attributes for this.

best, -thijs
