Copying pattr attributes

DiGiTaLFX — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 21:26:03 +0000

Just wondering if anyone knows if the following is possible/how to make it happen. I have an abstraction that I’m using multiple times in a patch, which has some flonum boxes attached to pattr attributes. I would like to copy the values of some of these from one instantiation of the abstraction to another. Would be great if there was an easy way to do this (without modifying the actuall abstraction).

Many thanks

try sends and receives instead. The new #whatever subpatcher naming system is handy.

To be honest, the only reason I’m asking is because I have the abstraction already written (inc pattr support) and would rather not edit it if possible – otherwise I’d just create a much more specific system for the whole thing.

nope, sorry, it’s not that smart

I did it! Was actually quite straight forwards. For reference here’s a patch to demo :)
