I vaguely recall this having been solved, but can't seem to find a reference.

I often find it useful for tidying patchcords to have a single "through" type object. I usually just make a bpatcher with an input and output, and a straight line connecting them.

Is there now a built-in way to do this? I know there was a package of externals that included such a thing, but it seemed awkward to create an external dependency just to solve this problem.

Max does ship with a 'thru' abstraction which I often use for this purpose...

Cool, that is exactly what I needed. I was having a hard time searching for it, probably because I was spelling it "through"...

It seems to be housed in C74:/patchers/m4l/Pluggo for Live resources/patches

Can I assume it is a standard part of the install for Max 7 & 8?

Yes, it is part of the standard distro now.

Simple "through" object?
