Looks at the moment like there is no real-time interaction, only qlists.
Qlist seems to be a somewhat archaic method to sequence commands in max, but
it wouldn¹t be hard to write a converter to turn the qlist format into a
seq~ format for example.

If it were possible to write plugins for NAP, an OSC message might be a good
option?
