thanks for all the answers, I guess I am really looking for something like actionscript for pd, based on lua or python. I understand that all of the suggested solutions are working, but all have some minor downsides, or overheads (of coding) or dynamic restrictions. marius.

Hi Marius, i've used py and dyn~ in combination for such stuff many times. With that many objects it makes probably sense to put the abstractions in subpatches (e.g. 30 subpatches with 100 objects each) as pd has problems with many objects in one canvas. gr~~~

hi, i need to create a lot of instances (let's say 3000) of a gem abstraction. each instance has to hold it's own variables, so it is difficult to work with repeat. In the past I always used pd-messages to create these objects, but I have the feeling that it would be faster and easier to do in a scripting language like lua. are there any plans to support scripting of pd objects (in this case gem objects) within lua or any other scripting language? marius.
