opening a patch...

Hi,

Is it possible to open a patch with some sort of midi command? Maybe have a patch window open with some object that opens patches and send that object the appropriate message?

I found this page, which would lead me to believe it is not possible:

I have looked at "thispatcher" object, which doesn't really do what I'm asking.

If it's not possible maybe this can be a feature request. I perform with Max and it sucks to have to stop what I am doing and have to look at my computer in the midst of a performance, close a patch and open up the next one.

thank you.

(script newobject mypatchname) Did you try sending this message to [thispatcher] , replacing mypatchname with the name of the patch you want to load

Or use (load mypatchname) to [pcontrol]
