...

I would put the metro value as an abstraction variable, like $1,  but protect it by using $0 of main patch as a variable too. it would give sommething like [freq-seq $0 500], then the values would be retrieved through an object's variable

called with dollar number

...

[metro $2] for retrieving time value, and [send $2-freqs] for

sending value,

...

then [receive $0-freqs] in main patch.

I get lost here. [send $2-freqs] goes in the abstraction or in the main patch? I dont understand how this works.

[send $2-freqs] would come into your freq-seq.pd abstraction patch.

Arguments given to this abstraction, like [freq-seq $0 500], can be retrieved as a float or a symbol (when it contains characters) under the variable name $1 $2 $3 ..... $n when you have n arguments...

But you might want to look into pd/doc/2.control.examples, particulary 14.dollarsigns
