Hello
I was wondering if anyone had an idea for a Vanilla replacement for
polygate~, which is listed as a switch between multiple signal inputs. I would like to make a patch for IPAD/MOBmuPLat that has this in the patch but i am wondering what a good vanilla substitute might be for it?
You can't. Or-- you can, but it will be a cheap imitation that either a) always has some maximum number of inlets, or b) uses nonlocal receive names to make up for the fact that you cannot dynamically instantiate inlets inside an abstraction because the [loadbang] inside will only fire after the connections in the parent patch have finished. (I.e., you'll get broken connections if you save the patch and open it again.)
You need [initbang] to create the [inlet]s before the parent tries to make the connections. The [initbang] object is in Pd-extended and Pd-l2ork, but not Pd-Vanilla. There is no process or plan to get it in to Pd-Vanilla, so if you are bound to using Pd Vanilla only you are quite simply stuck.
