Hello,

I'd like to control a lot of bangs via send and receive. Is there a way to do this without changing the properties for each bang, maybe by using only one or two messages?

Regards

You can send a bang to a [send] or and attach the corresponding [receive] or [r] objects to whatever you need banged.

(bang)
|

[r foo]
|
[whatever you need banged]

Oh no, I don't get it, but I didn't explain, I just wanna play for example some drumkits and sequences on a synth like M1. I know this could be done with sliders or knobs, but to me they seem a little bit - lets say imprecise. So what I need is some kind of keyboard or table where each midi note number for each step can be set by a toggle or bang that sends to a bang in a subpatch. This would be a big table... So for each step of the sequence lets say 128 bangs, 1st bang message 0, 2nd bang 1, 3rd bang 2 and so on... Messages in the subpatch. And then it goes like this:

... (many bangs)
|
[spigot] (slider)
| /
[float]
|
[makenote]
|
[noteout]

Intricate, isn't it?

So how can this be done without setting a send or receive message for each single bang? I really don't get it with that send foo object. As far as I see, this means one bang can bang a lot of bangs. But that's useless. Or maybe there's something Greek to me here? There must be a simple solution, but I really don't get it right now. I'd also prefer number boxes instead of sliders, but they can't initialize, so any sequence is lost with the patch closed. When I connect a slider to a number box, send number to slider and slider to number, the number is gonna be saved for the next time, but there's a stack overflow. It's gonna be a very big and flexible patch, so I have to keep it simple. I'm sorry for being dumb

Sure numberboxes can initialize. But not the atomic numberboxes from pd, but the tcl numberboxes. Just look in the put menu and choose the Number2 numberbox.

Thanks domien, completely forgot them, confused sometimes. But I'm still interested in how to connect lots of single bangs without messages for each one, could be useful for bigger patches which should be clearly arranged. Sometimes it could take a few hours to set these messages. So if there is a better way to do this, somebody please tell....

Btw, enjoyed your music domien, especially the stuff on myspace....

I'm really not sure what you mean. Can you post a simple patch that shows how you're doing it now?
