Hi All,
I am trying to put together an application that has several child devices that need messages sent from a master device. I can send messages to devices using s and r objects but that sends the message to all objects. I am wondering is it possible to send only to a specific device instance? Such as provide some kind of ID and send messages to that specific device? Would I be better off sending the messages as MIDI and routing each device on a separate channel?
Thanks in advance!

When you create the name with send/receive use three dashes before the name.
send ---name1
receive ---name1
This makes the name unique to that instance.

Can you give me an example of what you are trying to do? I think i am confused. If you have already fixed it then don't worry about it.

I have solved it but thank you for your help!
Do you mean so that patches wont talk to other patches? I was probably not clear enough. I think I managed to solve the problem anyway.
I can use a dynamic send name by sending with a message "send $1, $2" and then route to forward. I can then use the blank "receive" object and set the receive id using a message with the "set" command.
Thanks for your help,
Rudi
