Re: [sc-users] A quick way to send the same Synthdef to many Servers

[James Harkins <jamshark70@xxxxxxxxx>]

servers.do(SynthDef(...).send(_)) is a bit inefficient because it
rebuilds the graph and creates the binary stream for each server.

Faster (Tim Walters' suggestion -- this builds the graph just once):

~def = SynthDef(...);

~servers.do(~def.send(_));

But this is faster still. The above converts the synthdef to binary
repeatedly, once for each server. This way creates the binary stream
only once.

~def = SynthDef(...);
~defBinary = ~def.asBytes;

~servers.do(_.sendMsg(\d_recv, ~defBinary));

But making a SynthDef is fairly low-traffic, maybe not worth the
hackery to save just a few cpu cycles :)
