I've searched the docs extensibly but can't seem to reproduce the workflow shown in the analog synth demo on the website.

There seems to be a way to save a patch on your desktop and have it live sync onto Bela and restart the patch. At least thats what the video makes me believe is possible. I specifically purchase the Bela platform for this ability.

Any information is appreciated. If this functionality doesn't yet exist, I would be interested in digging in to extend the Bela platform with this live coding ability.

Thanks

I think the video uses build_project.sh

see
https://github.com/BelaPlatform/Bela/wiki/Interact-with-Bela-using-the-Bela-scripts

basically, you can give it a folder to watch, and it will automatically see files change, upload them, then run them.
e.g

$ ./build_project.sh ~/Desktop/myBelaProjects/testProject -b --watch

yes I think that is what was happening. Perhaps I was also sending slider values over udp. We are actively working on proper live patching, but it's not quite there yet!

Awesome! Thanks. I'm on the right track now. The build project script allows me to work remotely on my desktop using PD and have changes update (almost) automatically.

./build_project.sh [path/to/project] --watch

I'm going to stay tuned to any updates for live patching you might put out in the near future. In the meantime I'm going to cook up some ideas of my own.

Will post if any of them are good 🙂

remember the -b if you do not need the console output, so you do not have to manually. In the dev-workshop branch there is actually an even neater solution, where the script watches the file on your computer, sends them over to the IDE and tells the IDE (with a curl request) to restart the project. This has not been rolled into dev or master yet.
