Is there a way to define global variables (like a=1)?
Take a look at the maphash, mapwrite and mapread object (icem-www.folkwang-hochschule.de/~finnendahl/pd.html), if the variables have to be accessed by a symbol name or if you want to store other things than simple floats. Otherwise you could use tables (Arrays).
Although the bindings are local to the specified hashtable/table, the hashtable/table is global to pd and thus globally accessible.
If yes: how can I do it
create an array from the menu (and give it a name) or create a maphash object (giving the name of it as creation argument).
and how can I access them?
write-access with tabwrite <array-name> or mapwrite <hashtablename> read-access with tabread <array-name> or mapread <hashtablename>
