[PD] suggestion... or question

[hard off]

i used to spend a LOT of time renaming multiple send / recieve pairs,
making giant [route a b c d e f ....z] objects, etc....then connecting
hundreds of patch cords by hand.

but i generally don't do that at all anymore.  there are usually other ways.

for example:

*store your data in tables and use tabread to access it

*use qlist, or even better [msgfile] to access lots of data

*
[pack f f]

[;
$1-send $2<


however:  >>what do you think of a new type of object, that can act
like a subpatch
(or abstraction) does, and provide yet multiple inlets for controlling N
instances of that subpatch?
is this (already) possible to do?
perhaps can be made with an external...?<<


i think it might be handy, and i think you could make an abstraction
that does this for you.

have a think.  good luck.
