I can't answer you as I haven't looked at Miller's implementation. I can *imagine* that if [clone] is able to load an internal class then it follows it would be able to open an external class which is loaded. I didn't mean to imply that it can *now* but more than it *might* be able to if it can loaded internal objects.

Also similar to Miller's approach, there appears to be a way to load existing mono externals in the mc mechanism. So yeah, same problem, similar technical solution, different implementation.

Hmm, I am still missing what is Pd's approach to load an existing external into a mc mechanism...

I'm understanding that [clone] may be able to load internal objects (and abstractions of course) into a new multi-channel paradigm, but not externals. Please enlighten me.

cheers
