Native Pd Objects

- RECEIVE MESSAGES WITHOUT PATCH CORDS - abbreviation:

MESSAGES AND DATA TYPES

Pd's [send] and [receive] objects can communicate any data type that is supported by Pd: floats, anythings, lists, symbols, and bangs. However, you will need to plan ahead in your patch to ensure that a symbol doesn't accidently arrive at a [float] object, or that a list doesn't arrive at a [symbol] object. Consider the following I have been very careful to keep [send] and [receive] groups isolated to specific data types - and in the last case, I have incorporated a [route] object to properly receive the various data types at a single [receive] object.

INLETS:

None. Data can be inputted to the [receive] object using the [send] object or by creating a Pd 'send' command in a message box. The [receive] object accepts any atom type as input.

One - [receive] accepts a single argument (text, not numbers) which is a 'name'. All [receive]s of the same name correspond to a [send] object of that name.

ARGUMENTS:

Externals and other object libraries

OUTLETS:

One - outputs the message(s) that are sent from a corresponding [send] of the same name.

There is a lot of information available about [send] and [receive], but that means there's lots to know! Open the abstraction below to learn more...
