Hi,
I have a patch which has nested [bpatchers]. Is there a way to access the inlets/outlets on a lower layer from a top layer? In other words, I’d like to connect one of these bpatchers 2-3 layers down directly to something on the top layer.

I know I can create inlets/outlets in all bpatchers to basically ‘drill’ into them, but I’m wondering if there’s another, more direct technique? I’d like to avoid send/receive for now, but if I have to use it, OK.

Thanks,
Brian

If your patch uses the pattr system, you can use it to address
parameters at any level.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I didn’t know about [pvar] which would be great it could talk out of its patcher. My model for what I’m doing (a working model of a particular digital mixing console for training) probably requires [send/receive]. But [pattr] is whole new world in Max! I knew it was used to store ‘states’ and patch data, but didn’t know it was really an entire other system of objects, perfect for multi-layer patches like this. The good news is that it’s probably the right tool for the job; The bad news is that learning it means I’m not as far along as I thought I was. :)

Thanks,
Brian

OK, so I’m on my way to starting with [pattr] (thanks to Chris Muir’s examples on his page, which boiled things down nicely). But in order to get an actual signal from, say 4 [bpatchers] down up to the top level, the best way would be to either use multiple layers of outlets or [send~/receive~], is that right?

Thanks,
Brian
