@Jona motex/system seems to allow both instances while hcs/sys_gui appears to suspends the calling instance until the second instance is closed

Hi,
Writing a [textfile] with cr removes the semicolon that Pd uses as a line break.
I think reading a[ textfile] with cr reinstates the semicolon.
If you intend to use [text define] later it may have been better to have used it here also.

@whale-av Hi, I've just tried it by placing the plugin in my externals folder on Win 10 Pd 0,49. When I first open a patch it looks a little disconcerting until I enter edit mode.
Looks really useful though.

Hi @svanya
Something like this could do it
no-repeat.pd

I've just uploaded 'Arpeggiator using [text]' and the simple synth in that may help understand my previous post

I've been fiddling with [text] to see how I could use what was available compared to [textfile] and ended up with this toy.
The yellow objects affect various parameters
Open more than one if necessary
text-arp.zip

[poly] and [clone] and an abstraction of your synth voice.
poly handles the voice allocation of the number of voices your synth requires
clone creates multiples of your voice abstraction in the background, that are addressable by an index that poly prepends to the note data.
Messages can be sent to all instances of the voice for asdr, levels , filter etc using a list prepended with all.
Right click poly and clone objects for more info on these
Cheers

adding a [vcf~] here improves things greatly

Hi
Do you mean something like this
ks-idea.pd
