SuperCollider 4: First Thoughts

Idea: SynthDefs can take an Env as an input.
Why: we can already almost take an env as an input, but it needs to be input as a list, and the maximum length of the input list adds significant weight to the SynthDef bytecode, especially if we want multiple incoming Envs.
Implementation strategy: Have a secondary, behind the scenes SynthDef that loads the Env and sends it to a kbus, and bus it in to the main SynthDef.

How quickly this thread got forgotten: Composite notes: Auto-mapping synth controls to events – it’s doing literally exactly what you propose here.
