Zitat von Federico xaero@inwind.it:
hello list, I'm wondering if there is the need of a new object in pd....
...
i usually deal with this problem by using send/receive instead of patch cords. i seldomly experience problems with the order of execution when dealing with many instances of an object (they tend to work in parallel and not interfere with each other - at least not where execution order is a problem).
you can interact with each object separately either via special receive-names ("$1_my_param" where $1==1..N) or via special messages to a "global" (could be localized with $0) receiver and the use of [route] (msg "$1 <parm>" to "my_param" and then do a [route $1]))
both approaches have pros and cons (symbol-table pollution vs. [route]-evaluation)
apart from that, a hierarchical approach (loads and loads of abstractions) often helps a lot, even if you don't like hierarchies...
