best practices for controlling max patches from node4max
Hi, I've been thinking on a wysiwyg gui for my next patch, I wonder if it's convenient to create an in-browser frontend for the complex sequencer, fetch the data to the backend on node4max and tie it somehow to midi synths in max, because considering the complex idea of the project it would be more convinient to write it in code rather than in max graphical language.
If so, I hardly imagine how would I connect the backend responses to max midi data, even with node4max tools, how would I do that, in concept?
I'm very often designing GUI and some inner logic for my own projects in [jweb] - using HTML (usually via P5js). For me this is a good solution if I want to do something that I can't do well with the GUI objects built into Max. [jsgui] or [v8gui] are also worth to consider. External browser and Node (N4M) is also a solution if you need it, but this is probably something what is a walking around unless there's a special reason for it.
You can find some examples of using [jweb] in this way and one example on N4M on my website at this link:
