Well, grid flow isn't in use. That second iteration will be black because of the [r13] object. It's essential but it appears everyone has problems loading it. It seems there's a bit of a bug with this (I can't find out which library it's from). If you place [receive13]<div> in a patch, this loads and then you can use [r13] with impunity. There is a [receive13] in the sketeches sub-patch, so it seems if you load the patch, close it (but not pd) then reload, this will all work fine. </div><div><br></div><div>If anyone knows where r13 is from, could you let me know?
