Not sure if this is possible with bpatcher as a separate file, but embedding the bpatcher doesn't seem to make any difference either!

I've made a path for remote controlling Live tracks with MIDI. It works fine, but I now want to duplicate it for 20 tracks, AND save the name of the track that it's automating. The mappings are persistent between saves, but none of the track names get saved. I'm sure this should be simple, but I can't get any combination of pattr's to do the trick! Can you advise on a simple way to save text / states in a patch? Will using a bpatcher as a file work (seems to be more performant) or will I have to embed?

Contents of bpatcher below (I'm just duplicating this loads in the main patch)

Try saving the name in [textedit] with 'parameter_enable' checked in the inspector.

I think that'd work, but no way to set textedit text automatically, right?

(I mean, I have the name of the track already)

OMG that did it! Found you can 'set' the text of a Textedit block. Problem solved. Thanks so much, Broc!

- you could loadbang things (such an instance number) from outside

- you could loadbang things by static arguments-to-bpatcher (they are set in the get info menu!)

but whatch out, it only works when the load order of the objects which contain it do not change their position.

for 16 bpatchers which represent 16 "channels" this should not be a problem; include one 110.loadinstance patch in your bpatcher and it will know which instance number it is 

(except that the loadinstance number will start counting from the leftmost part ... [!- 16] will fix that easily)


...or use [110.loadinstance]

It's all about live.thisdevice from what I know of Max for Live so far! But thankfully, with textedit the names are getting saved directly in the project, no initialisation necessary.

Saving bpatcher state?
