but then I can't easily script 'disconnect'.
why not?
Yo, I had a similar complete unawareness of the [disconnect( message long ago when I was designing a bunch of dynamic audio routing stuff that caused me to architect things far less elegantly than necessary : ).
Ah, thanks! I had no idea about 'disconnect'. I usually look at a
patch inside a text editor to get 'hints' for dynamic patching, but of
course there is no disconnect, because Pd patches are current state
only -- no history buffer.
I tried to think of why this is so, and I think it's because it doesn't really get covered in the "pd-msg" tutorial that remains, I believe, the primary documentation on the matter (though it is listed in the reference 0.all_msg.pd so I can't excuse myself too strongly).
I'm thinking I'll add a 7.disconnect.pd entry covering it to make sure it is burned in early?
Good idea!
best,
Jamie
