Here's something that works for me. <pre><code> ----------begin_max5_patcher---------- 2184.3oc6asraaiCEcsyWAgw.jo.oAhjR1RytoXvrp6lkAEAxVzIrUVTPhNM YJ5+9vG5AoMkshkrZFfrnNUTRT26gGdePd4OtZ17UrmIkyA+A3NvrY+3pYyT MIaXV00yluM940owkpGa9Z11sjL97az2iSdlqZ+573RN4551y1sklkR3pWBV 03FVFuj9uDUad2509rrc75Gtt07BRo...

Ah, ok - prepend is 'settable'! Perfect. Thanks a lot!

What's the best way to retrieve data from a coll and join the symbol in front of the list? To make clear what I want: I have a coll like this: a, 1 2 3 4 b, 1.0 c, 0.0 10.0 100.0 where a, b, and c are names of pattr objects. Now I can send a message like 'a 1 2 3' to my pattrstorage, and the values ...

Yes, thanks. Already did that. Seems to be exactly what I need.

I want to build a 'virtual clipboard' for pattrstorage objects so that I can 'send' a dump, put it into listlike object on the receiving end and then apply the values and store them in the pattrstorage in another instance of my patch ('paste'). I'm just wondering how to pack the dump to have a gener...

Any way to export a patch from the 'preset' device? Want to be able to transfer them between various identical devices in my set. :?: :| As was already said, you need to use pattrstorage. As far as I know, there's no 'copy to clipboard' inbuilt functionality for pattrstorage. I remember even readin...

As I promised, here's what I needed the functionality for:

I don't think group is very useful here since it also requires to know the size of the list. Reg otoh. allows you to store a list and output it as many times as you like. So all you need is something like uzi to output a specified number of bangs, like so: Thanks. I needed to take care of the case ...

I'm looking for a way to 'fold' a list, so that a given list [1, 2, 3, 4] repeats until a certain index is reached.

Pseudocode:
[1,2,3,4].fold(10)
becomes [1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2]

I didn't find a zl object to do this, but I could be wrong...

Any ideas?

There was a misunderstanding here. I wanted to store the contents of the preset object, but the preset is just intended as as 'UI' for the pattrstorage. Now everything works fine. The pattrstorage runs in parameter mode with 'initial enable' checked. No need to save anything to a separate file. Ever...

All the better. Thanks for your assistance!

ok, it's the message *getname*. It was not in the list of messages that is shown when I click and hold on the left inlet. Forgive the dumb question.

when you say "across several patches" this could mean a lot of things, and I am wondering if there is another way to accomplish your task Are you trying to have 1 patterstorage that rules many patches? or 1 preset object that triggers several patterstorage objects? None of these, sorry fo...

It's better practice to name everything that has a relationship with pattrstorage in your patch. The Max help file on pattrstorage is a crucial read if you plan on making patches with preset devices. It WILL answer 80% of the questions you develop about pattrstorage. Thanks for your answer. I did r...

Is there a general syntax to read any attribute that is listed in the object inspector?

In my case, I want to send the varname of a [pattrstorage], whatever it is at the moment, to some place else in my patch.
As so often, I'm afraid I'm missing something obvious...

TIA,
