Hello there,

I've some questions about send / receive objects & M4L Devices.

Is it right that, if I Name the s / r objects like this: "---channel1" it sends and receives only within the device and not to another Device with the same S/R Object?
Or is there also another way?

Is there a way to find all s / r Objects in my patch and sub patchers, or must I search every patcher by myself?

Many thanks

About the '---' question, yes it is right, and it's a great habit to take.
About find all the s/r i don't know, but there is probably a way. But since you are asking, i suspect that you might over-use them. I would highly suggest this reading https://cycling74.com/2007/02/05/managi ... 0LFymPHwUE and the use of the underestimated 'value' object.

Many thanks, yes I might have over-used them and also I had some missing knowledge before I've began that project. Now I have the simple problem, that I can't put more than one M4L Device in my project ... haha ... but for the next projects I know how to do it better ...
And yes value is a good suggestion!

So yeah....hunt them, then rename all with a '---' before their name.
I've been there before...

To find all the s/r objects in your patch (and sub-patches) you can simply double click on one of them, it should show you a list of all the s/r with the same name, selecting it should take you to that object where you can rename it.

Yes thanks! And also a very simple function: cmd + f works also
