Sine you're opening the patches via libpd through ofxPd, you already have the pointer to the patch instance. Simply use that to close each instance individually. If you want to have the patch close itself, you can have it send a message to the C++ layer with it's $0 or a custom index so you know which object to close.

Hi, im opening multiple instances of a pd patch from openframeworks using the ofxPd library .

My patch generates a grain, so when i create multiple instances of this patch from openframeworks it generates a granular cloud. I need that after the grain is generated ( when sound finishes) the patch can selfdestroy itself ( instance get closed) .

How can i do this?

cheers
