Using the "---" Unique identifier in Gen
I am working on converting a recording/playback/buffer manipulation system with Gen objects for greater flexibility and sonic possibilities, but I have run into a problem. I use multiple instances of this patch in one Live set, so I have to be careful with my naming of things, as they all communicate to each other, but I don't want them sharing some send/receive pairs, and the buffer~/groove~ names. I get an error when trying to reference an external buffer with the "---" identifier in Gen. I thought of trying to dynamically rename the buffers, but I don't think you can do that in Gen (please correct me if I am wrong!). If anyone has any advice regarding this topic please do share!
What a perfect solution. Now I can get back to the task at hand. Just successfully rebuilt the [record~] object in Gen, so I'm off to rebuild the [groove~] object. And if you don't mind I'm going to cannibalize your fart noises patch for some glitchy goodness.
why are half of answers on this forum missing?
what is the solution to this problem?
ah, works great thanks
ah, works great thanks
:D did you actually find a solution or was this last post meant humorously? (made me laugh XD haha..) sorry, this thread is my fault, i think the answer was that you can setup prepared buffers within gen, and switch which outer buffer they refer to by sending the message from your parent max patch to the gen~ object:
"[name of internal/gen~ buffer] [name of outer/msp buffer~]"
hope it helps :)
