If you don't have any problem with using externals you can use [iemlib/iem_send].

That's what I use. There is also a [iem_receive] in case that you happen to need that.

Subject: [PD] Changing Send/Receive Names After Instantiation

Hi Pd-list,

A couple times now I've thought that it would be very convenient to change the name of a receive after instantiation, but I'm not finding any way of doing that. If this is impossible, I'll clarify that essentially what i want is for an abstraction to be able to point to the $0 patch number on instantiation. Is there a solution like this available within Pd?

Thanks!

Francis
