Hi! I'm an absolute rookie when it comes to Isadora and graphic programming in general, but I'm enjoying the demo version and these videos a lot. I have a question. When at 11:40 you duplicated all those toolboxes, I couldn't help but wonder whether it is possible to "define" this collection of toolboxes (which can become very large very soon, I imagine) as a single "blackbox". A user-defined toolbox with a lot of stuff going on it in that you don't want to mess with anymore. Sacrificing control for oversight, so to speak.
hey Michael, I am just taking this tutorial right now too but I used to do it alot (several years ago) and there is definitely a blackbox functionality...i just can't remember where. when I find it I will reply here.
I believe you are wanting to combine or group a collection of Actors. This can be done in Isadora by using the User Actor actor. Once you add one of these you can double click it and create your collection inside of it. These are reusable and very powerful additions to your patching capabilities, therefore; there is more to learn about using them. I would suggest you can read about them in the Manual. That will give you the details you need to get started with them. I am sure this topic will be covered in an upcoming video tutorial as well.
