I was thinking of building a sequencer with qlist, but I noticed a major defect: qlist doesn't seem to recognize the "$0-whatever" notation for dynamically specifying receive objects in subpatches. Would you consider this a design flaw, and is there any workaround?
I consider this a design flaw. Of course, [qlist] cannot deal with $0, as $0 only exists in a running Pd and the qlist-file is stored externally, but what I would prefer is a [qlist] that does not automatically send to the first element of the stored list (minus the time) but instead would simply output to an outlet just as [textfile] does. Then the sending could be done with the usual Pd objects or with direct connections.
It would be nice to have multiple instances of my sequencer, rather than having to modify each instance with different send/receive objects inside. But maybe if I'm using numbers, I'd be better off building from scratch using arrays and my own textfile object anyway...
[pipe] is a nice alternative sequencer, especially if combined with data structures as sequence storage space because [pipe] can delay pointers as well, and these pointer even can carry their own starting time inside.
