Hi Orm,

I recently had the same problem. There is an external send13 (in ext13)
that accepts a set message. This solution is bad, because then you
can't send "set" messages anymore. I think the best thing would be
to have a second inlet to send, if you go that way it would be great
if you could put your solution on the patch tracker.

PS: I couldnt find a standard way either ... maybe someone else knows.
