Now, in my mxj object, I need value of x.

I DON'T want to have a trigger at input of "v x" which sends the value out every time it changes.

I just want to read value of "x" when I need, synchronously.

Hi,
I have multiple "v x" in my patches.
Now, in my mxj object, I need value of x.

it's not pretty, but you could use this.getPatcher() to get the patcher your MXJ is in, then create a new val box with the same name as your other val using MaxPatcher.newObject() or newDefault, connecting it to an inlet on your MXJ, and then send it a bang. you would have to set up a method in your object to receive that message. you can then destroy the extra val object with MaxBox.remove().

Strange that there is no way to access "v" value

Hi, that's what I want to avoid...
