[PD] To pack or not to be packed that is the question ! (?)

[Derek Holzer]

The [pack] object and the [trigger] object should be separate. First 
create this:

  [pack 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]

then each number box should look like this:

[0]
|
[t b f]

where the "f" outlet is connected to the corresponding inlet in [pack], 
and the "b" outlet is connected to the first, "hot" inlet of [pack].

[pack] only gives output when the "hot" inlet has input, so the "bang" 
message sent after the "float" triggers it and gives output no matter 
which number box you change.

Read more about "hot" and "cold" in the HTML manual or in the FLOSS 
Manual for details. Or see attached patch.

Best!
Derek
