[Pd] Symbols set by floats

[Roman Haefeli]

hi chuckk

you could try to do something with [list]. you could store the instr-names 
in a list. then you can get the name of the n-th instrument by getting the 
n-th element out of the list (see [list split]).
there is also [index] from zexy, which is designed for assigning symbols to 
floats.

good luck
