Nice one. Anyone that does complex patches and is not familiar with stare machines should do this.

Does this workshop include some background or kind of basic rudiments for devvvveloping on C#?

sorry nope, this workshop is about statemachines. a c# plugin workshop is better suited to learn how to code c# in vvvv. i’m sure there will be one. joreg ? elias ? woei ?
