Sam,
Try |s $1|. The send destination will be defined by the initialization argument of the patch it's contained in. So if your |s $1| is saved inside a patched called "peekaboo," and you then create on object |peekaboo iseeyou| the send destination will be "iseeyou". You can also do |s $1too|. The send destination in the above case would then be "iseeyoutoo".
Hope this helps, Greg NYU

Hello Pd list members,
I am brand new to your list but have been reading the archives for several weeks now. I first found out about Pd through the IDM-Making list on Yahoo. I play cello, guitar, and bass. I majored music and minored film in college but was always a computer geek. I'm having a blast with Pd and trying to write a generative / improvising drum sequencer for my first truly useful project.
soooo... I have a quick newbie question that I could find no answer to in the archive:
Is it possible to have a "send" command be routed to switchable destination? For instance, the "makefilename" object allows for creation of an argument like "foobar%d". Is there anyway to get send to behave likewise? If so it would save me from making 64 iterations of the same piece of code which seems quite wasteful.
Thanks! Sam
