@jfg @DustinBoyle I was just gonna say. Just dump listeners in one user actor and broadcasters in another and you get exactly what you are looking for. You could pimp it with global variables or the data array actor if you want more functionality and the option to dump out files.

While I appreciate you're looking for a much more sophisticated system than this, but a helpful bit of Isadora functionality that I overlooked for a long time is...

if you hold down the shift key when drawing your connections you can connect to multiple inputs. Not much use if you're adding lots of additional actors one by one but if you know what you're going to need when first building the patch or user actor it can save a lot of time

It may not be exactly what you where looking for, but I remembered somebody already had done something like this and found it again.

Another approache could be to use the global value actor.

@DillTheKraut

Just what I was about to add.
JSON, and User Actors combined can save you hundreds of connections in large setups.

This is all very cool I will have to go over the suggestions listed here. thank you everyone for chiming in. If I have any detailed questions I will reply to the posts.

@jfg Oh wow!! yes that appears to be what I had in mind. I will have to play with this more. I was searching for send/receive and along those lines.

@Kathmandale AH I did not know you could do this. Thank you for this bit of info, I am sure to find this helpful in the future.
