In general I'm hoping to find better solutions for the gui - I have no experience with computer programming so I feel that I should start with GEM data structures (is that even part of GEM...?) as deerell has mentioned under patch~/mousing arrays = frustrating.

I'll be going to work on this, now, and would just like to check in to see if there are any (new) amazing front-ends that anyone is aware of. In the long run I would like to implement the two pd instances -nogui/-nodsp trick using OSC to communicate - another thing I have no experience with. Then think about a "java" or "python" thingy.

Let me know if I'm heading in the right direction here. In the long run I would like to have 2 touchscreens plus one large monitor with excellent visual feedback and I'm thinking that anything but Tcl/TK is going to be best in terms of maintaining low latency (for VUs, arrays, etc). Oh, that'll mean I'll get a graphics card too

Best,
J.P.

Could I make an animation of a rainbow river that represented different audio channels and then "stir" with my finger to crossfade or adjust the balance of the signals based on the prominence of their associated colors?
