Hi folks,

I rebuilt a patch from cheetomoskeeto, and in his tut video he manually copies the number from a number box into a message box to properly define the sample's playback speed. I'd like to get that number loaded into the message box with9out having to type it.

See the patch below to see what's going on. How can I do this, or can it even be done? I'll eventually have a bunch of samples playing and stopping to enter numbers is inconvenient to say the least.

I found the answer. The solution is a message box: [set $1] between the number and the message box.

Now, we both know.

yeah, have a look at /doc/5.reference/message-help.pd and especially the subpatch [pd changing messages]
