I’ve built a patcher with many [send] objects in it, and I was wondering if it was possible to use something like patcher arguments (#1, #2, #3 etc…) to change the name of the [send] objects between each instance of it?
For example, the send objects names are currently ‘load_1′, ‘save_1′, and ‘delete_1′, but I would like them to be the equivalent of load_#1′, ‘save_#1′, and ‘delete_#1′ so that I can use the patcher many times but changing the [send] names each time using a patcher argument. However I’ve tried it and noticed that Max sees the ‘#1′ symbol as part of the [send] name so the patcher argument is ignored.

Is there anyway to do this?
Cheers
