path live_set tracks 0 devices 0 chains 0

Could i SET a variable that I iter over, and then use:

path live_set tracks $1 devices $2 chains $3

The [sprintf] object is best suited for this. Try instantiating it like this: [sprintf path live_set tracks %ld devices %ld chains %ld].

Personally I'm using the [pak] object for this: [pak path live_set tracks 0 devices 0 chains 0].

Advantage: it delivers output when input is received on any inlet.
