(Or in a <br>subdirectory if you want to organize them that way.) It makes things more modular: <br>e.g., you can just compress the containing directory and shoot it off rather than <br>sending a separate attachment for abstractions and have them copy your manually-entered <br>search patch settings (which most likely will not be the same across platforms).<br><br>Additionally, the patch directory is searched first (at least according to the manual), so <br>you're less likely to run into name clashes that way. (And then you can <br>guarantee no nameclashes by prefixing your abstractions with a "./" like [./my-abs].)<br><br>-Jonathan<br><br>--- On <b>Tue, 2/15/11, Richie Cyngler <i><glitchpop@gmail.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid

I simply copied and pasted the "pd reverb" subpatch in to my own.
