Ideally, I would hope that they could take an input value and create a table on the fly, with something like "table $1-table". I'd also like to see what they send as output, but nothing that I've tried attaching to the output (number, symbol, or print objects)has revealed what it's sending.
"table $1-table" would just name the table's array depending on the arguments in a calling patch.
Hmm. So what I'm wondering is this: could we put the table object in a chain, so that, for example, I could bang a counter, send the outlet of the counter into the inlet of a "table $1-table" object, and thus create new tables (1-table, 2-table, 3-table, etc) on demand as needed?
And don't bother, many people may have looked for the output's functionality, but: in pd-0.35 table has a help-patch, that reveals: The outlet of a table does nothing and is to be removed in further versions of PD ;)
Ah, OK, I won't worry about that part then :-)
