Is there any intention to make actors that produce sound but from the pre 4.5 release (aud) have new audio outputs? for example, the 'speak text' actor doesn't have an audio output connector, but internally it must connect to the audio engine? I would like to be able to apply reverb and FX to that through the new audio connections workflow, etc. that would allow some creative uses of the tools already included.

 I have a feature request in to give audio output to, for example, the Tone Generator and Speak Text actors, but it's not on the immediate roadmap at this time. It is still possible to do this with virtual audio routing software like Blackhole thanks to the Audio Input actor. (Speak Text actor --> Virtual Audio Cable --> Audio Input actor --> audio effects --> Audio Output actor)

Certain things in Isadora process audio differently, and while some share the same processes, others don't, so there's not one unified "audio engine" that all actors can push audio into and pull audio out of. If I remember correctly, the Speak Text and Tone Generator actors rely on different audio processes than the new audio actors, so it's not as simple as just slapping an audio output on them.

@woland good idea. thank you, will look into it

@woland Thanks a lot. That makes sense... ;o)

@tomthebom

The key lies in the use of the 'index' input, for which the help text reads: 

"Indicates the line within the list where the next insert, replace or delete action will occur. See help for the 'insert', 'delete' and 'replace' inputs for details on how this index is used"

When using of the 'index' input to target where I wanted the specific action to happen, I was able to use the 'insert', 'replace', and 'delete' inputs just fine with your file.

While add/ erase work on my data array actor I have problems getting the replace/delete/insert function to work.
I can trigger the function, but I do not get any results... ?
Izzy file and text file are in the same folder.data-array-test-v4.5.1.izz

Any ideas about getting the VSTs?

Depending on the names, sometimes you can look them up to find them (if they're from a specific company).
