I've built a large-ish instrument (sensor controlled samplers) with 

global saving of values - ie autopattrs in each subpatcher and a 

I've built this for 2 slightly different purposes - one is to be 

used in a series of workshops for children with special needs, the 

other is to be used by a musician friend as a performance instrument 

(along with his flute). This means that it has to be simple enough 

for non-technical teachers to operate (hiding away a lot of the 

possible settings), but still have a lot of flexibility available.

One of the 'hidden' bits is a sub-patcher containing maxtrixctls for 

routing various possible midi input devices to patch parameters. For 

the schools project it's basically static set-ups, so one matrix set 

per pattrstorage preset is fine. however, it's just occurred to me 

that it would be really good to be able to switch midi controller 

routings in real time without altering any of the other various 

So I guess what I'm after is the ability to store a set of preset 

routings at the level of the routing patcher separately from the 

global settings. I guess I could create a series of global presets 

and only change the routings, but it seems better to just do it 

So am I right (about doing this at the local level)? And can this be 

done with the pattr objects (without messing up the existing global 

pattr system) - (I couldn't figure it out from the help files) - or 

would I be better off doing this with [coll]?

You can just put another pattrstorage in the lower-level patch, and 

manage presets locally with that one. At the upper level, you can either 

(with @greedy 0) control the lower-level pattrstorage (send it a value 

to change its preset), or (with @greedy 1), see all of the objects in 

the subpatcher, and control them directly as before.

So you can! Great, thanks for the confirmation - that all seems to be
