A fan-out in Pd usually means that a single outlet is connected to two
or more inlets. IOhannes strongly advises you to get rid of them,
because the order the many inlets receive the message from the outlet
is not defined. This is the single-most frequent source of bugs in Pd
patches.

Replace any occurrence of a fan-out by an appropriate [trigger] object.

Example:

[bla]
|\
| \
|  \
[y] [x]

should be replaced by:

[bla] 
|
[trigger anything anything]
|                         |
[y]                       [x]

(use mono space font for this ASCII-art to make sense)
