you can just simplify that:

Hi Pid - sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear. I just want to know how to access the same parameter across different genexpr's, using the parameter name as an argument. Your first solution is the situation I want to avoid, of having multiple param operators across the patch. The second one would be the same as having multiple outlets from genexpr, which seems the only solution at the moment.

Essentially I want this, but using genexpr:

Seems there must be a way...

ah, indeed, this seems not to work. when you said "genexpr" i thought you meant the language 'GenExpr', not the gen~ object [expr]. what i do a lot is make a pile of [param] objects and just alias them into code and do everything in [codebox] GenExpr language. it works that way round, but not the way you want it it seems:

shame... maybe one day?

Thanks, pid. And apologies for any confusion re: GenExpr, gen~ [expr], [codebox] and, indeed, max [expr]! You're right, codebox is really the way to go with this rather than [expr]. It's screen space more than anything - I can't wait till encapsulation is introduced...
