connection shortcut

Spat
#1

hi,

maybe it’s a newbie question. There’s a very convenient object in the hoalibrary of CICM that helps to connect the externals together. You only have “drag-select” or “click-select” the objects in order then bang the hoa.connect to connect the objects together. I don’t find same kind of objct in spat, maybe i’m wrong?

But if not, it could be something interesting for future development?.. It’s actually getting tedious to connect object with a high number of inputs/outputs/loudspeakers

thanks!

Hi Eric, have you tried the JavaScript called maxtoolbox ?
It gives you some very fast and powerful ways of connecting objects, among other marking two objects and send them a message ’ connect this outlet to this inlet’… Maybe this can be a workaround … Also cool for general patching. A lot faster than using the mouse to drag and drop patch chords.

Have a look at the help patch of spat.multi.connect.
This javascript object is a multichannel extension of the maxtoolbox.

There’s spat.multi.connect (by Rama Gottfried) which was based on the maxtoolbox.

Question in relation to spat.multi.connect / maxtoolbox… have you guys found a way of ‘undo’ connections that have been made e.g. cmd+z (which I find don’t work?)

#8

Nope. It is not yet possible to undo spat.multi.connect connections.

Hi T, sorry I didn’t see the mail with your reply.

Thanks a lot ! Ok no problem - this is a great opportunity to stop making patching errors! :slight_smile:
