Receive messages without patch cords Receives and outputs messages from send objects sharing the same name. This allows you to send any kind of message between Patcher windows or within a window without using patch cords. A receive object can be instantiated with its short-form: the letter "r". Cycling '74 Max Messages set Changes Receive Source (currently not assigned) TEXT_HERE set Changes Receive Source (currently not assigned) TEXT_HERE Message Received from send TEXT_HERE Receive name Name the receive object. If there is no argument, receive has one inlet, and a name must be provided by a set message before anything can be received. All receive objects that share the same name will receive data from any send objects that share their name.

Find matching send objects Double-clicking on a receive object looks for and opens a loaded patcher window containing a send object with the same name. Repeatedly double-clicking on the receive object looks for and opens more such windows. Set the receive name The word set, followed by a symbol, provides a name for receive, as if that name had been typed in as an argument. The order of reception by two or more receive objects is not deterministic.
Note: Communication between Max for Live devices using send and receive is supported, but there may be some latency involved when sending data between devices. Any message received in the inlet of any send or forward object with the same name, or sent explicitly from an int, float, grab, or message box, is passed out the outlet of receive, even if the sending object is in a different loaded patch.
