Hi,

is there an abstraction for real time recording of control data? As of now I convert control data to midi and record it externally (Reaper). I'd prefer to do it in Pd. I want to be able to replay a performance but do not need to align it to a time signature or any other "midi" features.

I imagine I could built it with [textfile] and [qlist] as shown here:

cheers!

@cfry in my library (shadylib on deken) I have some objects [streamread] and [streamwrite] that read/record streams of data and store them as lists separated by "/". Then you can use [stream-totext] and [stream-fromtext] to save them as text files. you need zexy for [drip] and [ekext/cup] too (though these can be replaced with vanilla alternatives). (the [prepender] objects can be replaced by [iem_prepend] from iemlib or a vanilla alternative if you just want to grab the abstraction & don't want to use the rest of the library)
