It took me a while to debug a problem in a larger patch of mine down to this odd behaviour:

So in my example below there's a dynamic poly~ with one voice and two switchable patches. Otherwise the two patches are identical except one has a pfft within. Both of these patches are supposed to report a name (#0_hello) out the outlet when loaded, triggered by a [loadbang]. This works for the one without the pfft but doesn't work for the one containing the pfft. The loadbang's are clearly doing their job but it's something about outputting this name out the outlet...

First poly-subpatch, save as: "dynpoly1.maxpat"

Second poly-subpatch, save as: "dynpoly2.maxpat"

First poly-subpatch, save as:  "dynpoly1.maxpat"

Sorry, just bumping this up, to see if I could find anyone with some knowledge about why this is happening.

I'd really like to know why it behaves this way, rather than just rely on some dodgy workaround.
