hi everyone!
i have a question concerning local variables in pd:
i wrote an abstraction which contains a data array. this array is only relevant inside the abstraction, but i need flexible amount of instances (of the abstraction)... therefore i can't give the array a fixed name (-->warning: arr: multiply defined) neither can i use the usual way of using a $1 placeholder and which gets replaced on initialisation (because in that case i'd need to get track of the number of instances already used, etc)
so, is there either a way of using an auto-generic variable-name or a way to keep an array local, so that the multiples won't interfere.
thanks a lot
