Hi,

What does it mean when a “patcher or object is freed”

Thanks!

i think it has something to do with the poly~ .
thispoly~ inside the poly~ patcher allows to change the state of its patcher . it means that you can allow it for process or block it .
freed would mean that its free for use . its useful when working with polyphonic content . also for isolating poly patcher from any processing so it not eats any resources .

i guess it is what u asked

I assume you’re referring to ‘freebang’. Yeah, the reference page maybe a bit vague but its help patch (alt-click the object) most certainly isn’t!

Put simply: when there is nothing left which ‘depends’ or ‘encapsulates’ the object or patcher then its ‘freed’.

So; say you have a patcher “A” which contains a patcher object (patcher “B”). The very moment where you have both patcher windows open and patcher “A” is closed then this means that patcher “B” is ‘freed’, nothing is ‘attached’ to it any longer.

cheers!
