Re: [sc-users] CCResponder question

Actually, while OSCresponders CAN be overwritten, it is because there can only BE one OSCresponder. In general use, it is better to use OSCresponderNode which carries the same properties as the CCresponder in this context. Actually, this is a benefit, since it allows you to run check in the functions to respond to different types of input. Let's say you want one responder to respond to 'num' 80, but another to respond to 81. This lets you set up two different responders with different functions. Granted, you could make one responder and evaluate on a case by case basis what you want done with different numbers, but with multiple responders possible, it also lets you dynamically destroy and change one particular responder without touching others. I think this modularity is a big plus... 

Hope that helps

I very much like the flexibility of CCResponders, but I am curious why we can't update/reassign a CCResponder by simply overwriting the old responder? If I understand correctly, now you have to remove the old responder before enter the new responder (otherwise both versions of the responder seem to 
coexist and execute their respective functions).

I ask because it's a chore to troubleshoot CCResponder code (revise a
responder, remove old responder, enter new responder).   Also, as I
understand it, OSCresponders can be overwritten without removing first, so 
there's a consistency issue, too.
The advantages of CCResponders outweigh this quibble, but I thought I'd ask 
while taking a break from hacking MIDI code.
