How to set the source/name of a "receive" object by a message?
Mar 10 2021 | 8:33 am
EDIT: TL;DR
Create a "receive" object with not argument, then there is an inlet that can receive a "set [name]" message.
------------
There is "Forward" which lets me set the destination via message, why isn't there a corresponding "receive" ?
Is there any workaround?
For now the only work around I can think of is to create all the possible receiver in my system in one subpatch, pass them through a gate, and add a selector for the gate.

- Mar 10 2021 | 2:18 pmWell, yeah I did it that way finally. Thanks. I am bit concerned about performance, since I am going to send messages at up to 600 messages per second. I thought maybe send/receive dispatch mechanism is more efficient than the "route" solution. I'll deal with it when it is a problem.
