What I usually do in this situation is have several container subpatches
like [pd instrument1] [pd instrument2] etc.. and then send internal
messages to each one to instantiate objects:

[; pd-instrument1 obj 10 10 my-awesome-patch arg1 arg2 arg3...; (

And to delete/close your patch:

[; pd-instrument1 clear; (

I'm not sure if I can say why this is better than using open and close.
It just seems cleaner and more programmatic to me for some reason.

Best,

Chris.
