Can't seem to save Inlets and Outlets in patch/patcher

#1

Seems simple enough,

  1. I added a patch/patcher
  2. Hit edit
  3. Went to inlets, added two inlets
  4. Went to outlets, added an outlet
  5. Closed the window
  6. Hit update in the patch/patcher node
  7. No inlets or outlets
  8. Opened the embedded patch properties window, all inlets and outlets are gone

Seems I've made some elementary error, but no idea what!

Can you post your file so we can have a look?

#3

Sure, but theres not much to see here :wink:

I was wondering if I'm doing something very silly.

main.axp (3.3 KB)

I just want to learn how to make these sub patches, so I want to put my oscillator and adsr inside the patch and connect the midi in and audio out to inlets and outlets created on the patch.

I've managed to crash Axoloti, clearly my semi sober fumbling has corrupted something somewhere.

#5

I'd better buy your book as clearly very simple things are hard to do.

#6

Looks like your subpatch was missing the inlet and outlet objects in the file you posted.

Best practice is also to put the midi/in/keyb object inside your subpatch so you can use it as a polyphonic synth voice.

Good tip about the midi object.

Yes, I didn't know there were inlet and outlet objects, but that makes a lot of sense, I'll try that when I get some free time again.

Great, that's all fine, thanks for your help again.
