</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">There is a way to sync data from multiple receives and it is to use the [buddy] object. [buddy] waits until it has received data at each inlet and then outputs everything it received through the corresponding outlet in the standard right-to-left order. It might not be a good solution in all cases since the receive objects need to be in the same patch window as the [buddy], but I have used it successfully for synchronizing receives within subpatches. [buddy] is in pd-extended, but I do not believe it is in pd vanilla.</span></div>
