From: Hans Roels hans.roels@versateladsl.be Subject: [PD] changeable receive To: pd-list@iem.at Date: Wednesday, July 29, 2009, 5:00 PM hello,
From what I read and tried, it is impossible to change the argument of 'receive' (like the right inlet of send) in Pd-vanilla. Is there a trick to solve this in vanilla?
I want to be able to insert the names of various receives in symbol boxes. The only way to do this is by using a slider or number box and sending a [receive $1( to this object. This works but
- I can only receive numbers from this 'receive' and not
lists, symbols,... like a normal receive 2. in this way all these GUI are using CPU. Does it help to reduce the CPU consumption if I reduce the size of this GUI to the minimum?
I hope somebody has found a hack for this problem?
You could use a bunch of spigots, or [list prepend] + [route], but both have the limitation that you must know what the receive names are ahead of time.
Here's a solution that uses dynamic patching. If there's a way to do this in vanilla without it, I'd like to know it, too.
