Hallo, Item State hat gesagt: // Item State wrote:
it's not my intent to start an aesthetic war, just i have mental pain with chords going straight across from bottom to top, especially since you cannot readily see which direction the data flows, so i started to use a lot of pvar associations in max.
Okay, I now looked up, what pvar/pv is, in the Max Reference manual. For storing single float values you can use the [value] object with $0 as in: [value $0-x].
For storing lists you could use a little abstraction as attached. It will not automatically get new values if you create a new [pvar] like the original or like value does, but it may still be of use to clean up patches a bit.
A third aproach is to use a [table] for storing lists of floats. Get them with tabread, set them with tabwrite or [s tablename].
