Having multiple instances of a same M4L object
What I am trying to do is to have multiple instances of a same M4L device in a Live session file, and keep having different setting for the instances. I also would like to have initial 'preset' parameters for the device.
Are my following understandings correct?
1.
Setting up 'autopattr' system lets me have different parameters for each instance.
2.
'live.thisdevice' is not good for my purpos, as it resets the parameter every time I click 'Edit Button'.
3.
Setting 'Initial' values to 'live.numbox'es lets me have initial parameters, and it does not mess up the parameters when I click 'Edit Button'.
Many thanks for your insight in advance,
Masa
Remember to use --- three dashes for any sends, receives or objects that might start reading from the wrong iteration of your patch.
Thank you very much. What do you mean with 'wrong iteration'?
I mean say if you have two identical patches then for example the sends and receives or play and buffer objects might get confused as to which version of the patch they are speaking to. if you send 1000 from a send in your patch to a receive it will be received in both versions of the patch, if you change the buffer using a replace message in one patch then it could affect a play object in both patches.
I am sorry for my delay...! Thank you so much for your clear explanation.
