I am trying an experiment where I make a GUI in Processing for my PD patch. I am using OSC to send control-rate info from the PD patch to update the graphics that Processing is displaying. This all works well but now I'd like to add a waveform display and OSC doesn't run at audio rate. It seems like maybe I should use JACK? If I use JACK, can I send the control rate variables as well or will I need to still use OSC for that?

Anybody with experience in this stuff feel like chiming in? Thanks.

What's the framerate of Processing? 30? Why need audio rate if your fps is 30Hz? Just use control rate OSC at that speed.

I guess I'll try it. Intuitively I guess it will use a lot of CPU but maybe it won't!

Is there a simple way to send a whole array via osc or do I have to send each element of the array one after the other?

"Array get" was what I needed, thanks
