Orm Finnendahl about [PD] symbolic reference and pd / Today
|Hi all, | |is there a straightforward way to assign values to symbols and |dereferencing them in pd? | |I think of something like a hash table or some other sort of |lookuptable for key/value pairs (the key part being a symbol, the |value part being an arbitrary pd datatype) in a way that you could |dereference them in a similar fashion as in a tabread object |(specifying that symbol table as argument and retrieving the current |value of the symbol in the outlet by sending the symbol name to the |inlet). | |I know it's possible to mimick that with send receive pairs and |routes, but I would like a more elegent way to solve this. | | |Yours, |Orm |
