I really want to avoid that syntax because while it may be the most
flexible for the current Pd implementation (e.g., one without a list atom)
it's clearest to have "get" followed directly by the thing being "gotten".
Maybe I can sidestep the issue by suggesting just to send the result
back to the "pd" symbol by forwarding it using an added "state" method
that does nothing:
[loadbang]
|
[; pd get dsp(
[r pd]
|
[route state]
|
[route dsp]
|
[set $1(
|
[0(
Added benefit is that you can also state a message to pd using the "state"
method, and all pd receivers will be notified.
