Diamaudix Audio Ltd.

Working on a patch that will navigate the signal chain through various .vst's (in various orders) dynamically.

The goal is to press a button, and to have the audio signal follow a different path (through different .vst's) to the audio output.

Have used javascript to code the dynamic creation of the vst's as well as connect all the wires in the signal chain (using this.patcher.connect)

Even programmed it successfully to reroute a new, random route by disconnecting and reconnecting the wires in a different pattern.

Problem is: even though, when executed, the wires visually follow a different signal chain, it's as if 

has occurred, with the output sound remaining exactly as it did in the originally generated signal chain.

Is there something about the nature of audio flow in Max that is being misunderstood? it seems like it should work perfectly.

yes, when scripting connections from java or thispatcher you have to recompile the audio, it doesnt do that from alone (like when patching)

so after every change, send "0, 1" to a dac~ and you will be good.

but it is good like it is, because with scripting you could otherwise easily crash you audio IO if it would restart audio from alone. and if you script-connect hundreds of objects it would takes ages until max has finished turning audio on and off. ;)


i dont think it is explained somewhere.
