In the patch I'm working on, pattrstorage recalls (among many other 

things) the setting of a top level ubumenu, which loads in a specific 

bank of samples. (Ie the slots in the ubumenu recall different banks 

Once loaded, the names of the samples are distributed to other 

ubumenus contained in sample players (in subpatchers). When this 

happens, the subpatcher ubumenus default to slot 0.

So the particular sample I want to play in each player is set by its 

ubumenu, and that setting is also stored in pattrstorage.

When I recall a master setting, the sample bank menu is selected and 

the samples start to load. As that's happening, all the other settings 

are recalled, so sampler menus 1-3 are set to the appropriate slots, 

Then the samples finish loading, and the sample names are sent to the 

So it's a timing problem. What I _want to have happen is that first 

the required sample bank is selected; it loads and the sample names 

are sent to the players, and only then do all the other settings load. 

Is there an obvious way to do this? Or would I need to ditch autopattr 

and set up something with lots of pattrs and pattrhubs connected to

Ah. My thought error was in thinking that pattrstorage has to sit at 

the top of everything, whereas it's the loading of the sample banks 

that is at the top. So if I drive the recalling of pattrstorage slots 

from the _sample bank ubumenu, rather than the pattrstorage's ubumenu, 

with an appropriate delay after the sample bank menu, then all should
