I was moving something setup in a similar manner to the n-body (or attempting to move) into a qtz, and I realized that even though the Feedback patch allows you to publish outputs in the context of the qtz, when the resulting QCPatch is used as a macro, it won't work because it is considered a consumer macro with outputs!
So, why is it that even though a QCPatch/qtz, can be a consumer macro and publish outs with the Feedback patch (eg., it's not a image unit), it doesn't work when you try to use the resulting macro in a complex qtz (eg., a qtz that triggers multiple qtz files/macros)? Is there any way around this without resorting to lopping out the provider/processor patches, and putting them in the root of the composition? How can I replace the feedback setup in this with a more traditional setup, or get it working so that I can use this macro inside of a consumer? I've done many a feedback loop in my day using splitters and multiplexers, but it doesn't quite seem to work with the n-body example. Going further, it won't even load into a Render In Image (not *even* a consumer macro)! How can anyone use the Feedback patch reasonably if this is the case? -George Toledo
