I've been wondering for some time if the system of proxies in proxy
space could be changed to a dynamically typed system. Currently there
is audio rate, control rate, and the permutations with the number of
channels. Attached is a system that removes this limitation. I don't
know if it should be done though.
Anyway, here is some thoughts:
what would be the benefits of a entirelly dynamically typed proxy system?
pro:
- conceptual beauty
- playing dynamism
cons:
- might cause unexpected cpu peaks when changing number of
channels of a big network of proxies
-> more responsibility
- makes code a little more complex (uh.)
- introduces some cases of ambiguity:
-> using event streams, which do not have a rate
information, it is not guaranteed to be correct
-> retrieving the index from outside, say for using
synth messages, index needs to be
updated
________
well if you like, try it, (you'll have to replace ProxySpace.sc by
the attached new version) and tell me what you think.
best whishes,
Julian
