I want to create a random value when the user opens the patch for the first time and then use the pattr to store this value, restoring it each time the patch is opened. The problem is that pattr keeps storing a new value every time the patch is opened (due to loadbang). Heres the code im using, would be grateful to find out of this is possible.

Thanks so much for your help. The only thing is tho, Im using it in m4l and when I try and copy the device, it just goes blank. Any idea why that might be? Cheers N

I wonder, could this idea be used with the following code? Im trying keep track of the last device id to compare with the current device id in m4l.

I store the two values in a coll (0, 1), which works fine, but when I try to save/restore the last device id in pattr as an adv preset, pattr doesnt work, because it seems to have already updated due to the loadbang. Its a never ending circle, like the above example.

Heres the code:

I owe you a few beers, youre disconnect solution totally solved this problem for me and taught me a few things in the process about pattr. It turned out coll was the problem, but I didnt realise disconnect would be so useful.

Thanks so much for spending the time to help me out.
