I'm currently working on a patch that utilizes a trick something like this in order to have data from a single slider be written to different arrays at will. I've having trouble debugging it though - for some reason, the values are shifting over one every time I switch to a different array.

Would someone be kind enough to have a look at this abstraction and point out to me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks. Marcus.

I did it just fine, using $1 and passing a parameter "one" then "two" "three" etc. for the various instances, then invoking the subpatch in each instance with "pd patchname $1" to pass the unique name parameter on to the subpatch. I was sending sinesum messages to the array and the $1 in a message doesn't pick up the parameter "one," so I used a "symbol $1" object to hold the parameter, then passed that to a pack obj, which passed the parameter and other variables on to the sinesum message, which rewrote the array. That doesn't seem very clear...

second late night abstract control-data question:

is it just me, or is it tricky to name an array from a creation argument? naming the array $2-zample in an abstraction with creation arguments(1 2), for example, doesn't seem to hold water, as subpatches

[where i can see in the window title bar that the creation arguments are carried through, i might add!] with a "tabread~ $2-zample" can't seem to locate it.

or does this work, and i am doing something else wrong? ;-)
