[PD] Theremin Controller patch

Hi everyone, I intend to run Pd for an art installation, using the Theremin Controller patch by Charles Martin.Just two pretty basic questions, sorry for my ignorance to the Pd-lingo:

• by default, the audio settings show a maximum of 8 inputs. If I were to use an interface that contains more ins & outs, will Pd recognize it as such?- Charles Martin's Theremin patch uses two object-number-combinations to define the minimum-maximum range for the variables (the [*] object and the [+] object). Is it possible to store values for these in the patch itself, instead of redefining them at every start-up?

Thanks very much!JP
