Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

this is the only way I know how to do it, via patcher scripting:

i use placeholders such as "777", "zzzzzzzzzz" or the smallest possible negative number to initialize such objects and then filter that placeholder out using [route].

@nicolas your (elegant) solution works in v 6.0.x too
