[PD] using a constant without bang

Only audio signals in Pd are updated automatically, but message flow
always is driven by some event generator, like a metro or a gemhead. You
generally initiate a message flow with a bang-event, but there is no way
to "broadcast without the need of a bang" outside of audio.

For storage itself you have lots of options, though: [float], [value],
[table], [list], [textfile], [pointer], and so on.
