Question regarding the pound sign (#) and patchers

Hello,

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

i have this patcher:

within this patcher i have a routepass and a messagebox which have an #1 argument. I was under the assumption that i can hand over the values for those two #1 by giving the patcher an argument (in this case a 1 so that the dial uses CC# 1).
But that doesnt seem to work. What have i misunderstood or am doing wrong?

IIRC you need to save it first, and then load it back in, as an abstraction.

arguments don't work in subpatchers as far as I know.

that's correct - you can however use the patcherargs object to grab parameters for subpatchers

(coincidentally, this is a subject of a tutorial coming up shortly on Ableton Live Expert... :) )

thx for the patch. This saves me alot of work given i have like a thousand of those patchers to supply values to :-)
