Is it possible to post the patch name of a vst into a symbol box or something?

I'm running a vst in [vst~]:

[getprogname $1(
|
|
[vst~ 1 2 @pnames 100]
| | |
| | |
[ dac~ ] [print a]

Then in the console:

print: progname -1 7 Albino III layer
print: progname -1 6 Albino CombPad
print: progname -1 5 A3 LowLandSplit
print: progname -1 4 A Sync

Is there a way to post the information that's being printed in the console into an object or message box in PD so that as I change the parameters I can see what one I am currently on without having to switch back and forward between the screen and the console?

Like this:

[getprogname $1(
|
|
[vst~ 1 2 @pnames 100]
| | |
| | |
[ dac~ ] [A3 LowLandSplit)

Thank you

This will get it in a message box:

[ (

To get it in a symbol box or use it as a label for [cnv], you'll need to convert the message to a single symbol using [zexy/list2symbol].

That's amazing; thank you.

Instead of starting a new topic, I'm wondering if there's any issues with PD and multiple large audio files?
I'm trying to re-write my live set and I've 9 tracks each with stems, so 45 audio tracks all at about 6mins each. I load 4-5 the tracks (20-25 audio files) into arrays. But any more than that then PD just crashes.
I checked my computers resources and it's not even using up half of the cpu or ram, but it will just close.

If I load in the files slowly then the same will happen, it will get to 4-5 tracks and then just close >_<

I'm not really familiar with this problem. I've loaded over 50 audio files before without problem, though they were just short samples a few seconds in length. Are you doing anything that would need them to be in arrays, such as changing speed or jumping to different positions? If you're just straight playing them back, then you might want to see if you can get away with using [readsf~]. That just plays them directly from disk, so they don't get loaded to RAM.

I am kinda making a sort of DJ mixer type thing where I'll be needing to fast forward, rewind and pause the files. Is it possible to do this with [readsf~]?

I can get rid of that element, but I'd rather find a work around instead.
