hell yeah Roman,

thanks that works great.

Your solution is brilliant.

I'm using it to switch a set of controls so that I can load more synthesizers up and not have that TCL screen redrawing processor hog activity.

for instance a synth currently consists of osc, osc2, env1,env2,lfo1,lfo2. If I can reduce the controls so that there are only 3 sets then the screen area took up by 1 synth will almost be reduced to 1/2.

so like the osc guis can control either osc1 or osc2 instead of having a set of controls each for osc1 and osc2. during all of my realtime performance adjustments to patches and even my patch building I never adjust more than one parameter at a time. I guess a better Idea would be to make numberbox controls for everything instead of the gui controls but the gui controls are much cooler.

I might have a found a way that doesn't mess up the patch after saving,
but I still consider it somewhat hack-ish.

I'm not clear of the purpose of what you want to achieve, though. You
can only convert the receivenames to use $0 once, so it seems easier to
use a text editor to edit the pd file. Or if you set the receive names
dynamically whenever you fire up the patch, you could instead use the
real number instead of the variable $0.
