Hi,
This must have been discussed in the list before, but I couldn't find anything in the archives because it's difficult to generate a meaningful set of keywords for this......
In a merely fortuitous way, I found out that if you send a message starting with the keyword "dsp" into an inlet of a subpatch or abstraction, it is not passed through the inlet.
Attached is an example, i.e.:
[ ( | [pd mysubpatch]
where the subpatch contains:
[inlet] | [print]
If you write "dsp something" in the message and click it, the message won't be printed!!!! (while any other message will)
It seems like the inlet itself "catches" it...
I don't know what [inlet] is supposed to do with messages starting with "dsp". I thought it may perhaps switch~ off the subpatch, but it doesn't.
Is this a bug or a feature? Is it documented somewhere?
Thanks m.
