a [text] (and get its first line from your abs)
Inside the main patch, I use [text] to read constant values from a textfile. Then I could store them in containers like [symbol], [float], [list] in each abstractions but it seems (for me) not flexible. It does not allow to open a patch or an abstraction which needs thoses values. I can reload the textfile when the patch is opened but I don't like this design : when I reload the textfile I trigger values into the 2 patches. My way now is a [text] loader of the same textfile into my main patches, called once at the startup. The [pv] object from cyclone is a good choice, thanks for the tip. It just needs to be created in a parent level.
But if you only have to get its constant value (and not to modify it) then you could just call a shared abstraction in your abs, that would just send the symbol to an outlet?
Do you mean one [text] loader into each abstractions ? -- Jérôme Abel http://jeromeabel.net http://reso-nance.org _______________________________________________ Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
