I'm thinking about creating a variant of delread/write~ for ELSE with this "freeze" functionality. But maybe we can request to add it to vanilla.
maybe this is best for the pd-dev list, but here I go.
In my design choice for a variation of delread/write, I think it could be given a unique delay name when a delay write object is not given a delay line argument. This name could then be sent via an outlet to a read object. This looks like how things work for MAX's tapin~/tapout~ and I confess I'm taking it as a model.
Now, big question, can I force an order of execution with such a connection? Would it have to be a signal connection only?
thanks
