Hi, I'm a newbie and I have a question.

I'm building a patch that uses various effects such as reverb, delay, distortion..etc.

And all the effects were saved as an abstraction file, in order to load them easily.

But since I don't want to always use every effects in my patch and because it's a waste of cpu, I wonder if there's any way to just replace the existing effects to other effects that are saved as an abstraction pd files in 'real-time'.

So my question is,
Is it possible to send an abstraction name to an object box in real-time in order to load or replace an abstraction just by sending a messagebox or something into it?

Sorry I'm not a native speaker, please excuse my grammar and stuff.

it is possible, using dynamic patching, but i think it's quite un-necessary.

My old master patch loaded over 1000 samplers, synths and effects (obviously may dupliates) and worked fine on an old computer.

As long as you use [switch~] in your patches, with [0 ( sent on loadbang to turn them off by default, there is negligible cpu use while they are not in use.

Hi mod, I didn't know about switch~ object.
I appreciate your big help!!
