Yan Da

Hi, I wonder if there is a way, by using only max objects, to send messages to multiple objects , named such as "rec1, rec2, rec3...." I made a patch using ";" , not sure if there is a simpler ways to build.

how-to-send-messages-to-array-of-objects-that-have-consective-object-names

concatenate the number with the rest of the name (for example [sprintf rec%s])

counter or uzi
concatenate the number with the rest of the name (for example [sprintf rec%s])
prepend set
[forward]


One could add offset, so to send messages just to rec5 - rec8, instead of allways starting from rec1.

Multislider (as multi switch) or matrix could help selecting wanted destinations, and in combination with forward,

could form much more flexible solution, just in case that is needed...

Thanks Roman and Source Audio, could you guys please make simple patches demonstrating your methods.

Hi, this is what Roman suggested, optimized variation of what You had allready in Your patch.

And here added variation using matrixctrl.

There are many options for this kind of stuff,

but it really depends on what You want to do...

Thanks a lot! Never thought about using the "Forward" object.
