I have been getting the repeated error message " multiply defined" when I use multiple sends with the same name. When I remove them, the error message disappears.
However, I was reading in the documentation that you can have as many send and receive objects with the same name as you want.
Can anyone clear this up?

Hi George

This is my first post on this forum, so please don`t be to angry if I am wrong.

If you use the [send] and [receive] objects, you could have as much objects with the same name as you want.

But if you use the [send~] and [receive~] objects for signals, you could have as many [receive~] with the same name, but only one unique [send~] object. If you have more than one [send~] with the same name, there is an error.

That may be right. Still, when I had the problem, I wasn't using send~. But I'll check it out. Thanks.

what dertatsch said is indeed correct:

Why is it an error though? It seems very useful to me to route your final sound from various subpatches to your [dac~] using sends, rather than patch cables.

Like:

[s~ output] [s~ output] [s~ output] [s~ output]

[r output]
|
[dac~]

If you use patch cables it looks really messy

@Faranta Best to use........

[throw~ output] [throw~ output] [throw~ output] [throw~ output]

[catch~ output]
|
|[dac~]

Made specially for this purpose....... many to one.
[throw~] and [catch~] have the added bonus that you can set (and so change..!) their addresses too....... with a [set whatever( message.

[send~] and [receive~] are only for one to many.
