everything that can be built with a number of objects, can also be
build with 1 single object: just use abstractions.

 theoretically, banging a [tgl] is more expensive than the [==]/[f ]
 construct, because - as you mentioned - the redrawing. though you won't
 notice it, when triggering at a very low rate (e.g. by footpedal). i
 usually use gui-objects only, when i really make use of the gui-part of
 the object, which is not the case here. but this might be a matter of
 taste.

 hi matthew again
 
 i attached a small patch, that shows how i would implement the most
 simple 'state alternator'. if you want to make state switching dependent
 on other states, it might be helpfull to have a look at the helppatch of
 [ ], [|| ], [== ] and such. with these objects, it should be possible
 to implement the logic you want to achieve.
 
 some random tips, that are important, when doing logic-stuff:
 
 * many objects with two inlets only send a 'result' to the outlet, when
 they're triggered by the left ('hot') inlet, whereas, if they get a
 message at their right ('cold') inlet, only their internal state is
 changed, but nothing is sent to the outlet. (Section 2.3.3 of the
 pd-html-manual is more detailed and might be interesting for you)
 
 * you should care about execution order. for example, when one outlet is
 connected to two inlets, the order of execution is *not* defined, or in
 other words: you don't know, which inlet gets the message first.
 therefore usually a [trigger]-object is inserted in between in order to
 avoid 'undefinedness' (have a look at the help of [trigger]).
 
 * read the section about the 'depth-first'-principle in pd (section
 2.3.2).  
 
 i hope, that was not too 'teacherish' ;-)

 So I want a bunch of buttons that do *multiple actions, depending on
 the current state of the sampler*. So for example I gave:
 
 * in stop mode, if I press the button we go to record/play mode
 * in record/play mode, the button closes the loop and stops playback.
 
 I will need a few different states, such as
 
 * playing
 * overdubbing
 * stopped
 * recording
 
 that will be tied to 1 of a few different parallel samplers (probably
 around 4).
