tried to post on the forum some hours ago, but it doesn't seem to have come through. apologies if it ends up double.

i'm building a preset system to map events from my midi controller to different sub/bpatchers. i discovered scripting with [thispatcher], and it seems a good way to connect and disconnect my midicontrollerabstraction [spd-route] to a sub/bpatcher according to a certain preset. however, while connecting is no problem, the disconnecting bit is giving me a headache: naming all the sub/bpatchers my [spd-route] could possibly be connected to is going to be confusing (if only because i'm adding bpatchers regularly), so i'm looking for a "script disconnect spd-route all" or something like that.

i'd be very grateful for any ideas, suggestions, tips for further reading. thanks!

Another way to make "connection" on the fly is to use send/receive/ 

forward. You might want to have a look to that too.

... that's a settable send! thanks for that one, that's what i was originally looking for!

the only question i have there, is that this sends it through more objects than a direct connection would. as i'm using this routing to eg trigger a sound, i'm worried about delay. is this worry at all justified, or is it just my non-abstract mind that wants to see the wire?

Don't worry about the delay, you won't notice any. You might also have 

a look to the ";" in a message box to send multiple messages "at

Don't worry about the delay, you won't notice any. You might also have  
a look to the ";" in a message box to send multiple messages "at  
once", that might be convenient too.

just wrote a little preset handler with [forward]. very useful indeed! i know about the [; xxx, is a good one indeed though i didn't end up using it here (just sending a big list to a [route].
