[PD] one other thing, bout sending info to a message

[Adrian deCleir]

well, I dont mind how much space it takes up its just the fact that I have
to write it out so many times is the problem, Ill have a look at the pack
object or something, or see can I turn the IP into some variable so I only
have to write it once, like variable = 10.50.42.10
so itl be like   |connect variable 3005|
			|connect variable 3006| etc
hopefully Ill find something that does that, any suggestions appreciated
thanks for the help

Use OSC with one connection and path-like routing of parameters, 
something like:
synth1/volume/0.5
synth1/pitchbend/0.333
synth1/noteon/60

   as in is there a way of just writing the IP once and send it to

Something like:

|10.42.50.10(
|        |5000(
|        |
[pack s f]
|
|connect $1 $2(
|
[netsend]

...takes up almost as much space!
