[universal] from one [bpatcher] to another

Greetings, I have bpatchers within a parent patch. Is it possible to have have [universal 1] within one [bpatcher] send a message to the objects in other [bpatchers]? Or would this [universal 1] have to be located in the parent patch? Is there a way around this?

I don't think so. But you can send a message via a send object from a deeper level sub patcher to a universal object in the parent patcher which will in turn distribute the value to all same level and sublevel patchers.

Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

That ended up being my solution...I was hoping I could do it from a bpatcher since I am making modules that can be called independently and had one that would control the others. I'll just create a custom start template.
thanks for your help!
