Two important developments in case someone missed them:

The new Iannix looks stunning to me!

The manual is very very readable!

I'm looking for a timeline-based software where:

• I can draw (and ideally, record) multichannel automation,
• said automation can then be sent out as OSC data,
• its playback position (and ideally, speed) can be controlled by OSC, MTC or in some other programmable way.

From this page: http://www.ardour.org/osc_control
I see Ardour can be controlled by OSC, and I suppose it can handle automation, but I can't find any mention of whether it can send out OSC data.

IanniX always looked too artsy to me, so if anyone has experimented with it, I'd like to know if it's possible to be precise to a degree where I want it to eg linearly output values from 0.1 to 0.569 over 0.6 seconds?

Anyone familiar with AlgoScore or 'Timeline OSC Sequencer'? I just found these while writing this post - shame on me

BTW, I posted in this section because this is I/O stuff, and I need it to control arduino, video etc, although that's not obvious from the post.... If there is a more appropriate section, please move it at will.

I know it's a long shot, but.....

Has anyone tried this combo to get a PureData patch to work as a ProTools plugin?

OK, get some examples of pduino - it's absolutely the easiest way - you have to upload standard firmata onto Arduino only once, and then, everything you do is from Pd. Much easier than writing your own firmware and communicating through serial port.

Another BTW - after seeing your website, I gotta tell you I've recently attended a presentation by Pip Chodorov, another die-hard 16mm film fan

Did you look into firmata? In case you don't need to have your own code running on the Arduino, it's a simple firmware that lets you read and write pin values directly from Pd.

BTW, me and my dad had made a video->35mm transfer machine with a stepper motor, but that was back in 1997, before Arduino

I'd just like to say that 20ms is too much IMHO, most musicians can't play percussive sounds with this kind of latency. I definitely hate 512 samples latency, at 256 I can play, and sometimes I feel even better at 128. I've never heard anyone having a problem with 5-6 ms though.

There's the PD-Anywhere project:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pd-anywhere/

let's wait and see if someone on this forum has any experience with it - I don't....

I'm not following you...... Do you want to run Pd on an embedded device without a computer?

Thanks, that sounds great, will definitely study your patch.
