5.1 fun patch query

hello folks!

for some reason, i didn’t get any response from this post (i never received
a copy from the list), and although i figured it out, i thought i’d re-post
it any case anyone had any better ideas:

I’m still working on this 5.1 project, and I found that part of the example

and my finding:

i figured it out…"mtr" does the job of recording any kind of message, so
it works really well in this case…thanks for thinking, and have a nice
day.

i still wonder whether i could do this in coll or not…it just doesn’t seem
as easy in capturing a stream of data, but i’m not sure…

best,
john
