have the [partconv~] object be created before the [table]?
I tried and have it working actually, not sure how it wouldn't work like I said

hi, what is so hard about initializing the object with a table? The [cycle~] object does that really well, for example.
it's very simple if the object can access the table-values directly when needed. e.g. [tabread] (we don't need to search for max-compat externals to have a use-case...) will check whether a table exists directly before it accesses it; [tabosc~] (that's [cycle~], ain't it?) and other dsp-objects will check whether the table exists when DSP is turned on (Pd guarantees that whenever a table appears or disappears the DSP is re-started).
but some externals (including [partconv~]) are slightly different, as they don't access the table-values directly. rather they munge the data in the table into a local representation (in the case of [partconv~] the data will be fft-transformed), which is rather time-consuming.
i *guess* that even for [partconv~] it would be enough to not access the table-data before the DSP is started. this might need major refactoring though.
And I don't see how it wouldn't work if the table had its contents saved, for example...
