Single webcam running multiple patches

stoopchow's icon

I've made a patch in which the rgb data picked up by a webcam triggers changes in several parameters of sound. In this patch there are several subpatchers, many of which include webcam inputs. Is it possible to run all of these inputs through one webcam or will I need to change the way I have patched it? Cheers

I guess you'll have to change it so there is one grab object and the subpatches receive the video feed as matrices. Using named matrices could be the most efficient way of doing it, ie. without messy patchcord spaghetti.

Cheers man, that should help alright.
