Sending lists of variable sizes through target (poly~)?
What is the easiest way to send lists of variable sizes to all instances of a poly~, using the "target 0" message?
If the list has 8 or 10 values it seems silly to use "taget 0, $1 $2 $3" etc.
Or?
Of course!
More proof that I need to learn to simplify my thinking (and learn one or two or ten more things about MaxMSP).
Thanks!
Also, you don't necessarily have to send a message to the poly object in the form of:
target 0, $1 $2 $3 $4
The comma separates the two parts of the message into two separate messages. So, a message box with the above message in it is equivalent to sending two separate messages:
target 0
44 24 7.234 foo
So, what I'm getting at is that you can just send your target 0 message, and then just send your list through in a separate message. No need for sending the list through a message box with the $1 $2 $3 stuff.
