[PD] questions about [send]/[receive]

[i go bananas]

>when 2 different [send A]'s go to the same [receive A] will there be used
a "first-in first-out" procedure?

yes, always.

(unless you deliberately use something such as a [pipe] or [delay] object
in between, of course)


>[send]/[receive]'s inside a subpatch are they handled before
[send]/[receive]'s which 'cross the border' of the subpatch?

no.  the subpatch will not have any impact on the order of execution.



In general, it is bad practice to use a single send going to multiple
receives - the order in which they are received should be considered
undefined.  You should avoid doing that if at all possible.

But in some cases, it is useful, such as sending the global BPM to
different parts of your patch. In that case, you just have to be very
careful that the patch doesn't depend on the order in which the different
receives are triggered.
