[PD] To pack or not to be packed that is the question ! (?)

[Derek Holzer]

The first slider does not need a [t b f] because it is connected to the 
"HOT" inlet already. When it sends a number the first inlet, the [pack] 
gives outlet.
The others use a "bang" message so that [pack] sends output with all the 
numbers it has stored in the "COLD" inlets already when the "bang" goes 
to the "HOT" inlet.

This is one of the most important concepts in Pd, so pay close attention 
to this!

Best,
Derek

PS. please keep this conversation on the Pd list so others can learn too!
