i'm trying to build a multi 16-step-sequencer. to save place, i want to pack all the sequencers in a subpatch, and then change the visible area in the parent window with a "coords" message, sent to the subpatch - so u can select the the sequencer u want to edit in the main window.
the problem is, that if i change the view and try to edit the sequencer values, they will be changed in the subpatch - but the changes will not be displayed in the main window unless i moved the subpatch a little - then everything will be displayed fine? someone's got an idea how to fix that?

i know, my explanation was a little bumpy, but if you take a look to the attached patch, you will see what i mean! open the "Drum_Seq16" patch and see...

you could avoid shuffling around the subpatch just by using the same display and load differrent values

have a look at this patch

of course i could do that....
but it was not my intention - to be honest, i've been searching for something like the "stacked macro" in reaktor.
by the way: when i look inside a patch code, sometimes i find a tag lookin like "restore 100 100 pd somepatch" - what is that for?
thanks for your answer anyway!

well the first #N is the main patch
any succeive #N will be subatches ending with the restore message
