Can anyone offer me some advice.
I’m looking for an object, similar to gate, that will allow me to route an incoming signal to one of multiple outputs.

The [gate] object is no good as I need in excess of 400 outputs. According to the reference for the [gate] object is limited to a maximum of 10 outputs (although I’ve used it with more – but not enough for this patch!)

I’ve tried the “See Also” section of the [gate] helpfile, but I can’t find any info on the maximum number of outlets objects like [router] allow – I’ve done some preliminary testing and I don’t think there’s enough.
I’ve also looked on maxobjects.com and I couldn’t find an alternative.

This is starting to hurt my head a little!!! ;-)

I’m starting to think I may have to look at javascript – but that opens up even more problems as I’m not that well versed in java…

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Cheers
galaa

Thanks

Now to work out how to adapt the patch to fit in the new system..!!!!

It seems that the limit is 100. But what for do you need 400 outputs?
Just to connect them would be a pain. It sounds that you might want to
look into some poly~ techniques and combine them with mattyo’s suggestion…

Due to the large number of objects required, I’m using javascript to create and connect all of the objects – a lot easier than doing it manually!!!

the forward method looks like it will do the trick – I’d just forgotten that it existed.

I looked into doing it with [poly~] but I had some problems getting things to work correctly…

Its as easy as sending a target message to the poly~ object…

I was just finding it very time consuming getting the various jitter objects working correctly in the poly~ object.

The javascript approach is working now.

Saves you the hassle of working with poly~ if you don’t like that solution.

hi, this patch consistently crashes my max 5.0.7 os x 10.4.11.
i’ve chosen “new from clipboard” as well as trying to paste in a new patcher window. is there something i’m doing wrong?
cheers,
