Repeat my abstraction n times?

Hi all,

I've got an abstraction that I need to include lots of instances (64) of it in a patch.

Do I have to do this by hand? Or is there a shortcut?

Thanks,
Tom

When you select one or more objects and type CTRL-d it will duplicate the selection => creating 64 objects can be done in 6 "duplication runs" (2^6).

Hi domien,

That's how I've been doing it so far, but it's a bit fiddly and takes up a lot of space.

In most other programming languages it's possible use a "loop" construct. Is there something like this for PD?

I guess you're talking about dynamic patching in which you create abtractions and connections at runtime. This is something that can be done in pd:

There must be more, just search the forum.
