the initial position (so the reset position) is a parametter that you can set at masses creation : [mass foo 1 1] will be reset at position X


Also, only the second mass is moving, left inlet of [link] is attached to a fixed point, so how can I send force to the second [mass] via [link]?

send a force message to the mass inlet : you can have many things connected to a mass inlet...


>Right inlet won't give any results. What do you mean exactly by 'mass parameter'? Is it for [mass] or [link]? Could you give an example?

i don"'t really know what you want to do, but here is an example.

[mass] will go to that position indeed, but as soon as I turn [metro] on it tends to go back to the previous position and then return to the position currently set. Even if I send the same position number to [link], it shows the same behavior. The patch is as follows (connections from [metro] and [setX $1( actually go to left inlets):
