Examples
Discussion
The pattrhub object has a single inlet and two outlets. The inlet is used for all incoming messages. Messages that can be understood by a pattr object within the pattrhub object's patcher (e.g. or messages) will be automatically forwarded to that object, and any response will be sent from the pattrhub object's right outlet.
