Hello,

The helpfile for Netsend shows how to send a simple message to a Netreceive object in another instance of PureData.

But how to send a "global message" and execute it automatically?
For global message I mean the messages starting with a semicolon,
like

; 
pd dsp 1 

or

;
$0-param1 0;
$0-param2 62; 

I tried this, but no success:

I'd like to execute the instruction on the destination instance only, and not on the source instance.

Thanks

@ludnny You can send [send pd dsp 1(
and in the receiver.......
[netreceive]
|
[route pd]
|
[s pd]

As ";" is simply a local shortcut for [s] that allows a message to be sent to an address from within a message....... see my next post.

OR.....
Send the message [send addsemi, send add2 pd, send add2 dsp, send add2 1, send bang, send set(
and attach an empty message box to the outlet of [netreceive].
Of course you could use [list prepend send] to shorten that message (the list will still need to be comma separated for it to work...!).
Something has to be attached to [netreceive] for the message to take effect at the receiving end.
In the screenshot below I have turned DSP on in Pd Extended by sending that message from a Vanilla instance.

Thank you!

The idea of sending the message with commas and to attach a message box to Netreceive works perfectly!

About the semicolon at the beginning of a message, I don't thing it's a local shortcut for [s pd]

In this example, only the left one is working.
It looks like the first semicolon means "send argument 2 to argument 1 for each line".

@ludnny Sorry..... my mistake........ a shortcut for [send] within a message....... to any address specified by the atom that follows the semicolon.
I will change it above in case someone stumbles on the error.
Thank you,
David.
