i was planning of building a flexible synthesis system, like an analogue studio in Max. I would need dynamic patches where i can connect modules (blocks of objects) in changeable ways. Is there a way of doing this without going through the EDITING mode. With js or something? And if yes can you show an easy example?

Hi all,

dynamic-patching

you can do that with scripting, but that is a bit limited, it can get hard to remove

i use scripting to create my bpatchers sometimes, but i always connect stuff in

editing mode, it is faster and more flexible.

[gate] and [switch] can do a lot, as can [matrixctrl] / [matrix~]. Though you don't have as many options as with scripting I think. You can do a lot of scripting through [thispatcher] without any javascript, read the [thispatcher] help file and all its subpatches. There's a lot there so take your time (also a lot of non-scripting goodies like window control).

dynamic patching?
