[#store (10000 256 3 #)]   for int32 elements
[#store (10000 256 3 s #)] for int16 elements

or if you want triplets of histograms instead,

[#store (10000 3 256 #)]   for int32 elements
[#store (10000 3 256 s #)] for int16 elements

right-inlet has put_at message for writing into the array (instead of 
default behaviour of replacing the whole array).

left-inlet is very powerful at extracting data from the array. For 
example, just sending "3 1 # 30 42 77" will extract arrays #30, #42 and 
#77 as one message of size 3 by 256 by 3 (or 3 by 3 by 256).
