hi list do i unterstand it right, that subpatches are only for make patches "cleaner", and no way to commit some arguments individually , like we can do with abstractions? this would make a lot of things easyer, for example: copy paste a subpatch ,give them some arguments, and then i can change some little things in the individual subpatches...
subpatches share the 'locality' of the containing patcher, as far as $0 goes, but it soudns like youre looking for the ability to 'subclass' an abstraction and just change a few things? or perhaps real local-variables or symbols without makefilename+$0 hacks, or even the ability to pass distinct args to a subpatch like you can with an abstraction? keep waiting, or add it yourself..i think some work on these things, along with lists-within-lists and threads, pd could become the 'python or ruby' of dataflow langages..but it hasnt happened yet.
i ask me then, why we can stop the audio with [switch~] in subpatches, or handle "canvas"-locality with [sendlocal] from guenter geiger
do i have overlook something? is there a "hack" to become the subpatchname?
thanks, and i hope this is not asked to much before.. moritz
