Hi all,
does anybody know a way to send arbitrary length messages to arbitrary receivers? I would like to send OSC messages of variable length to pd, specifying the receiver in the first element of the message. It has to be completely dynamic as I want to create pd subpatchers dynamically, so OSCroute won't work.
It would be possible, if e.g. the send object allowed for a set message (or have a right inlet for setting the receiver), or if it was possible to use message boxes with Dollarsigns for arbitrary length messages.
Before patching pd's send I thought to better ask for a standard way to get this done.
Hi Orm,
I recently had the same problem. There is an external send13 (in ext13) that accepts a set message. This solution is bad, because then you can't send "set" messages anymore. I think the best thing would be to have a second inlet to send, if you go that way it would be great if you could put your solution on the patch tracker.

PS: I couldnt find a standard way either ... maybe someone else knows.
