more gracefully handle non-list messages to special receivers #25

Closed umlaeute closed 7 years ago

umlaeute commented 7 years ago

currently all the toXXX receivers require list messages (and the fromXXX will emit list messages as well). since Pds[route]doesn't like lists but instead uses the *selector*, this boils down that virtually every communication with the MobMuPlat fromawork requires an explicit[list trim](to get rid of the "list" selector when receiving data) or an explicit[list]` (to add that "list" selector before sending data).

schouldn't this be incorporated into MobMoPlat itself?

The communication between the native app layer and the patch (via libpd) uses a list. So there's no way to strip it off in the app layer. Even if there were, it seems counterintuitive to mangle an incoming list, when a simple [list trim] does what is desired.
