I need something like a receive that can dynamically bind to a named object

anywhere in the pattr system. Somewhat like pvar, but global. Any ideas on

how to do this in max/ jscript, even c maybe? Thanks.

Maybe I don't need 1:1 linkage after all, grab will do for now. I still think it would be very nice to have an external like this, to monitor any named object without s/r the way pattrforward can the other way around. Just an idea.

That's kind of what pattr does, no? Apart from the multiple outlet

Thanks Jeremy, you're right. I never had a reason before to use the pattr

binding, and I totally forgot about it. I'm always addressing parameters by

sending stuff directly to the specific pattrstorage. I have to rethink my

patch design a little, because I'm scripting modules in different places

depending on the setup, which leads to variable pattr paths, but that's my

problem. The pattr binding is exactly what I need. But it makes me wonder...

what's so special about pattrforward, if you can also use a pattr + bindto

Weeeeeeell, kind of. pattrforward allows any old message to be sent 

to any named object, not just a message related to the object's 

"value", which is what the other pattr objects are concerned with.

ah ofcourse:) thanks for your explanation. (last stupid question) The final

pattrforward, will it talk to a named bpatcher's inlets too? pvar and the

current pattrforward don't seem to do that. Or am I missing something

It will when I fix the crasher your message permitted me to find.

Wouldn't this just be [pattr] itself? At least from a parent patcher you 

can bind it to subpatcher objects as well.

You're right...but that's what Jeremy wrote already in his first reply;-)

pattrforward spelled backwards is drawrofrttap. drawr- of-rt-tap. hrm, wheres this leading?

opposite of pattrforward?
