i have looked through support and forums and still haven't found the answer, though i am sure its simple.

basically, i want to have a table of data (that will occasionally be refreshed, it will live as something like a jit cellblock or matrix in a device). but i want to be able to access that table from other devices and run simple operations on it (very simple database stuff, but ensure unique id, find, randomize, etc...)

its key that i can access this from other devices. i guess i can use an external mysql or something but that seems like overkill for just one simple table, and that might be inefficient.

Retracted.... sorry, didn't see this was in the max for live section.

in m4l, as long as you do not use the unique identifier "---" or the local identifier "#0", your data is global to the set.

this works with s, r, buffer~ (etc), jit.matrix.

it does NOT work with send~, receive~, plugsend~, etc.

using sql is also possible, and not so far fetched, but you must talk to it via javascript. also possible in m4l, although i am less experienced with that (read: never done it) within the m4l context.

however, all global operations are subject to quasi unpredictable latency (related to audio buffer size), so careful with ordering and what you expect to be able to achieve.

so how would i go about having a jit.cellblock that is accessible to the set? just using pattrstorage? any examples?
