Local send/receive in M4L

jon snow's icon

Hello guys, is there a way to make send/receive local to a track group?
I'll explain: I would like to share information between plugins only in the same ableton track group.
I know that --- makes s/r local, and having none means make it global.
But how do I limit the scope of a s/r?

No possible with send/receive, as far as I know.

I now very less about ableton, but if
you want to do something like that, you must know
what makes a member of a track group different than
a member of another track group.
Using live.object ?
When you sort that, than you could have
a unique code for a group to share data.
Could also be a port number on udp send - receive

get Track Name or Number use forward / but this is only for the same Track not the same Track Group

Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

this is group track id plug
placed in a track, it will show id 0
if track is not a member of any group
otherwise id that is same for all members
of a group

It is now only a matter of using that id
to create send- receive pairs, or form udp port number ...
