I'm about to start building a modular synth on MAX/MSP. I  am not sure how to connect the modules within the synth without switching back and forth between unlocked and locked modes. I want to export the synth as an application, where this switching would be impossible. Any ideas?

you could use scripting – or a dynamic send and receive system.

but if i may ask, how do you plan to organize the creation, placement and moving of the modules? that is about the same mountain of a problem. ;)

my plan was to have a finite amount of modules, in bpatchers. so no creation, moving etc.

eventually I'd like to have those features implemented, but i don't know java script yet.

this is a "first endeavour" type situation for me :)

yes also a mountain!!

ok so its all fixed kinda, and you only want to connect stuff.

well yes, using send is probably the way to go here. i would probably just use [forward] and [receive] (without ~) for that task.

other people would maybe use matrix~ or something around it.

it is easy. if you are able to make synth modules, you will also be able to find out how to create the virtual connections using [forward].

the main problem will be how you want to reflect that to the user. what is you GUI like? pictures? panels? lcd?

panels! forward working as like a sort of address and prepend system, but GUI wise i am lost again
