Howdy. Please find attached plugin~-test.pd , which demonstrates sending the message "plug gverb" to [plugin~] . I'm using pd-extended v0.43.4-extended on Ubuntu Studio 12.04 .
The Pd window indicates the message has been received by [plugin~] and has selected the GVerb plugin, but [plugin~] doesn't behave as if it has selected the GVerb plugin. There's no change to the signal passing through [plugin~] , and [plugin~] doesn't add the extra stereo in/outlet that GVerb instantiates, such as when creating [plugin~ gverb] with the creation argument.
Does [plugin~] take [plug <plugin_label>( messages dynamically only when the Pd GUI object remains visibly the same (eg. remains mono or stereo, depending on how it was created with an argument)? Is there some other way to dynamically set [plugin~] to use some other plugin? Thank you for your insights.
