[PD] joystick button-mashing

> Which OS are you using? Can you send me an example of your patch?
I am on windows XP. The patch I am updating is here  
http://www.apfrod.com/works/2005/04#Shape_Sequencer_Release_1

That does indeed help, thank you Joe! I was assuming. It behaves how I  
would expect when I stick a print in place of the route which it didn't  
before. But I will have to go back and work out where I have compensated  
elsewhere in the patch for this assumption as just changing that part  
hasn't stopped it acting wierd yet...

I can't believe I left it like that for a year without realising
