I am creating a mixer-like patch with a bunch of identical channels, which are abstractions. I am trying to figure out the best way to store settings for the individual channels. At the moment, being the same object, they all default to the same settings.... it seems like if I want different data in each channel, all the pattr storage stuff will have to be outside the patch, and be hand duplicated for each channel?? but that seems so unhelpful... I'm assuming there must be a better way?

I should say more: I have named all my pattr objects starting with #1, and each channel is in a bpatcher with a different integer for its argument.... so each pattr has a unique identifier.... but it doesn't seem to be enough. I'm gussing I must be missing a step.

Each channel uses its own pattrstorage, then if you change a setting, all other channels get a notification to reload their preset file. And yes, all use the same file...

The patch is burried somwhere deep in an unsearchable box...

Some time ago I did it that way:

But I hope you get the idea...
