this is a well known problem in pd, i solved it by using the table-object instead of an array. in some cases you can also rename the array with a message [;array_my_default_name rename new_name(. still looking _for another solution. sÃme

Hi All,
I just started using pd and so far it's been pretty amazing. I read
up
on the documentation concerning local variables and they seem to work pretty well except when you try to make local arrays. Entering the $0_<array name> simply deletes the $. I tried backslashing it ($_<array name>) but that just allows the array to keep it in it's name but doesn't do anything otherwise (other than screw some stuff up so you can't open the properties dialog for the array anymore). Any hints on how to get local array names to work?
In case you're wondering what i need this for, i'm programming a generic sampler which can be loaded up on the fly as needed, with each sampler having it's own local sample storage so i don't have to go around copy and pasting components into new windows all the time and then changing the variable names...
