send

Send messages without patch cords

Description

send will transmit messages to receive objects that share the same name argument, providing the ability to send messages within a RNBO patcher and its subpatchers without using patch cords.

A short-hand alias exists for send objects. Simply creating an object named "s" will instantiate a functioning send object.

Note: send will not transmit messages between a RNBO patcher and its root-level Max patch.

Arguments

name [symbol]

Optional

Name of the send object. All receive objects that share the same name will receive data from any send objects with that name.

Unlike in send~ , it is possible to create multiple send objects that share the same name without causing compilation errors in the RNBO patch.

Inlets

input [bang, number, list]

A message received in the inlet is sent to the outlet of any receive object that has the same name.

Fixed Attributes

These attributes must be set in the object box and determine the behavior of the object at runtime.

name [symbol]

Name of the send object. All receive objects that share the same name will receive data from any send objects with that name.

Unlike in send~ , it is possible to create multiple send objects that share the same name without causing compilation errors in the RNBO patch.

Dynamic Attributes

These attributes can be modified in the code during execution using the set object

input [bang, number, list]

A message received in the inlet is sent to the outlet of any receive object that has the same name.
