I would like to use a dict (storing a glob) with parameter mode enabled inside my Max Midi Effect, but the name appears to be global. So that if I have multiple versions of my midi effect, they're all referencing the same dict. How can I have the dict name be dynamic / based on the instance of the device.

there is tripple-dash convention in M4L . use "---" before your name , in M4L those dashes will be replaced with an instance number . Every device will have its unique Dict on board then .

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for.

sort of on topic; is there a way to dynamically name a dict in regular max (not M4L)?

for example, to receive its name through a bpatcher or poly~.
