See my other message - ideally, u_dispatcher, the helper abstraction that distributes arguments to patches after using u_makepoly to make them polyphonic, should be able to dispatch symbols. Right now, it appears limited to only lists and floats. I need to dispatch symbols in order to pass the array name for playback of the sound buffer (in this case for a granular synth, but the same would be potentially true for a sampled instrument).
Unless there's a better way I'm missing.
Hi Peter,
One thing you could do is convert to a list before you send it (e.g. a message that starts with the word "list") and then convert back to a symbol on the other side, I think with [list trim].
Cheers,
Chris.
