When I bang switch~ and write to an array using tabsend~, the array never redraws itself unless I click on the array (thereby changing one sample of data) or if I read and rewrite one sample as shown below. Is there a better way?
redrawArray.pd

I wouldn't have thunk. Is an array something that's embedded in a canvas? I would've expected canvas to have a redraw method. Or maybe I'm confusing canvas with graph-on-parent. I find all that stuff confusing.

(hopefully a new release coming soon.. in the meantime you have to compile yourself)

Looking through your source code really makes me want to learn how to write externals. I gotta finish my music projects first though.
