Ive written a fairly large patch and have hopes of using pattrstorage to send message to various objects throughout the patch.

I have a matrixctrl (named 'matrix' in the example patch below) object that I would like to be able to clear by sending the message [matrix clear] to a pattrstorage object. Unfortunately, I get an error message that matrixctrl needs messages in the format. Obviously matrixctrl can take the 'clear' message, so I am assuming there is something wrong/missing with its implementation of the pattr system.

pattrforward is the way to go. Pattrstorage doesn't send the message 

directly to the object, but via a setvalueof/getvalueof method of the 

object which is used to store/recall the internal state of the object.

I completely forgot about pattrforward. Thanks!
