I was wondering if there is a different way to alter arguments in patchers/bpatchers?

I know you can use the #1 #2 but in this case I use a OSCroute which uses slashes:

[OSC-route /Multiball/y6 /Multiball/x6 /Multiball/z6]

Normally you would do it like this: #1_Multiball but OSC data doesn't let you do this.

I would like to alter the 6 into a different number so I don't have to type tons of numbers.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!!

Cheers, Danny

Hi Danny,

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

you can use the sprintf object to construct symbols.
for example like this:

Hi Mudang,

Thanx a lot. That will do the job nicely. I didn't know you could change the arguments of the OSC-route object.

Saves me a lot of typing!!!!

Cheers, Danny

The "changing arguments" subpatch in the OSC-route help patch holds some good tricks. Also the alternate slash format. (eg [OSC-route slash #1_Multiball] )
