How to create an array via the pd.internal.messages ? I've tried to send the message "array x y" but it makes error: Bad arguments for message 'array' to object "canvas" .. what are the right arguments ??

You should take a look at the Pd file in a text editor and look up how an array is written in the source.

A basic question: how to join strings which are changed to produce a message ? I think of something like this: larilarila_(number) (another number) - where the numbers are changing .. ? The second step could be $1 $2 - but how to join "larilarila" and (number) ??

[makefilename larilarila_%d] | [pack s 0] | [$2 $1(

or so.

I'm trying to build a recorder patch which would record the changes of states of controlers during an performance. It should be able to "replay" them later, and use them to render/outpu the performance in hi-quality by slowing down to 1 fps for example..

I don't know if that is possible with Pd at all. Pd is not Csound. ;)

the states are numbers (1-12) but the performance is in 20 fps for a longer time .. arrays seem not to work at all if their length is greater then 5000 or even 2000 , and i need 10+ of them, each at least with length 24000 .. Is there a better way how to do it ?

You might want to experiment a bit with qlist instead. It can grow dynamically and stores time-tagged messages, where the time-tag is the time difference between two events.
