IML: what if target patch is NOT sender patch

[woodslanding]

There is the 'load patch' module that will load a patch to rack 3, slot 2, for instance, but I cannot find an example of the syntax to script this, as every example seems to set target patch to sender patch.....

I did look at the console when I used the module, but there is no IML for creating the patch itself, just for creating the object inside it.

Any tips welcomed.

thanks and happy holidays!

My initial thought is to pre-create a template/dummy patch and either use a "load patch" or a "load module (subpatch)".

[woodslanding]

did that, and no IML.... I made a patch with a single 0to1 module, and loaded it from the loadPatch module. All I get in the console is one line:

create module TpgFrom_0_To_1 219

no create patch at all.

Well, I found a good workaround, using a combination of scripting and the load patch module.

I'd also like to have a script to clear patches, though, so if anybody knows how to do that....

Once again, I can load an empty or near-empty patch, so there is a workaround.

[woodslanding]

well, now I'd like to load a subpatch of a different patch, so hoping there is some way to specify the target patch. I'll try another forum search....
