Background process for real-time operations

With the following functions, you can run a background process (e.g., a loop function that constantly reloads data, for example from a text file) and do other things in parallel, such as modifying functions, etc. This is helpful when working with LISP/Opusmodus to process data in real time. I’ve tested this for a few days now, and it seems to run well and stable — at least as stable as the background process functions are free of bugs.

Starting the process: Give the process a name and "add" your function (Here’s an example I made) -> process name “mididateien-generieren”, and my function within it is called “gen_1.midi”

(mp:process-run-function "mididateien-generieren" nil #'gen_1.midi)

Stopping the background process

(progn
  (print "mididateien-generieren gestoppt")
  (mp:map-processes
   (lambda (proc)
     (when (string= (mp:process-name proc) "mididateien-generieren")
       (mp:process-kill proc)))))

If anyone has better solutions for this, I’d be happy to hear them!
