Having that in mind and mentioning Kyma as Tjeerd did is a bit odd for 
me, maybe there is a wrong idea of it flying around...

Kyma can be regarded as a PD or Max/MSP in Hardware. All have a lot 
examples but you have to create a lot on you own too, that is the 
feature of the 3 systems. And can meanwhile Kyma be patched in realtime 
while running like PD and Max or does it still need to be compiled first 
and then listen/tweaked???

Cheers,

Malte
