"""
Take the DSP name, the DSP compiled as codebox file and its associated JSON file, possibly the effect
compiled as codebox file and its associated JSON file, and the maxpat output file name.
Addionally, the C++ export path and filename can be specified, and the C++ code 
will be exported and compiled if 'compile' is True.
The 'test' option allows to generate a patch with the 'RB_xx' prefixed labels for the parameters, 
to be used with the C++ RNBO test application with the rnbo_dsp class. 
The 'subpatcher' option allows to generate sub-patch as foo.rnbopat files.

Parsing the JSON file gives:
    - the list of parameters (button, checkbox, sliders, nentry) to be added as "set param" objects
    - the number of audio inputs/outputs to be added in the subpatch
    - the MIDI state to be used in the patch
    - the nvoices count to be used in the patch
The maxpat file is generated with the following structure: 
    - rnbo~ object for DSP
        - subpatch
            - codebox~ object
            - input boxes
            - output boxes
            - parameter boxes possibly with MIDI control
            - lines between boxes
    - the subpatch can be generated as flat or as a foo.rnbopat file then loaded as a 'p' subpatcher
    - the polyphony control is added if the MIDI state is True and the nvoices count is > 0. Effect is added as a 'p' subpatcher.
    - possibly loadbang box and 'compile C++ and export' machinery
    - possibly midiin/midiout objects
    - dac~ object and possibly adc~ object (if the DSP has inputs)
