Hi Krzysztof,

your rabin code does nearly exactly what I wanted to do! It safed me a lot of work! My idea also was to 'clone' an abstraction to use several instances of it. The only difference is that I need a control outlet. I got that far that I can get the values sent to the outlet using an extra receive object. But I did not manage to get it out of the objects outlet... Do you have any idea how this could be done? I would try to create a second class within my object that would behave like a receive object, something like:

class_new(gensym("liker"), NULL, NULL, sizeof(t_liker), CLASS_PD|CLASS_NOINLET, A_NULL);

But maybe there is an easier solution to 'grab' the data that is send.

BTW, your code works with the current Pd version and compiled without trouble on Win2k.

hi Olaf,

have a look at

do not know if it works with the current Pd version, but the source in rabin.c might give you some idea.

...

say I have an abstraction having one (control) inlet and one (control) outlet and an external with the same number of inlets/outlets that does nothing by it's own. What I now would like to do is to 'load' the abstraction into may external instead of loading it as a 'stand-alone object'. Thus my external would always be there but I could load different abstractions into it. Would that be possible without having to write a second Pd in an external?
