[PD] dynamic-named arrays

[Marcus Estes]

I'm currently working on a patch that utilizes a trick something like
this in order to have data from a single slider be written to different
arrays at will. I've having trouble debugging it though - for some
reason, the values are shifting over one every time I switch to a
different array.

Would someone be kind enough to have a look at this abstraction and
point out to me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks. Marcus.

I did it just fine, using $1 and passing a parameter "one" then "two"
"three" etc. for the various instances, then invoking the subpatch in
each instance with "pd patchname $1" to pass the unique name parameter
on to the subpatch. I was sending sinesum messages to the array and the
$1 in a message doesn't pick up the parameter "one," so I used a "symbol
$1" object to hold the parameter, then passed that to a pack obj, which
passed the parameter and other variables on to the sinesum message,
which rewrote the array. That doesn't seem very clear...
