Yeah, it's off in it's own directory now instead of being under 
libnifalcon, so I can update the library and the hdal projects 
asynchronously.

Awesome! I've been working on getting the Pd/Max patch up to date for 
the past week, it now uses the C++ core and has access to the 
kinematics, I've even made a little wall-force patch with it. I keep 
meaning to release a new package, but right now I'm stuck on a crash bug 
when destroying component objects of a device (kinematics, firmware, 
etc...).

However, if you want to check it out (it works fine until you close a 
patch or try to switch from kinematic to raw mode. :) ), I'm pretty sure 
the latest source is in the svn 
(/svnroot/libnifalcon/trunk/np_nifalcon/). I'm hoping to use the falcon 
for instrument creation for the laptop orchestra of the left 
(http://lol.stanford.edu/). If you have any requests or advice about the 
Pd/Max external, feel free to throw them out. :)
