I want to be able to send audio from the first instance of a device to any other instance within the instrument / effect thingy. BUT I only want it to send / receive for that track, so if I had multiple instances on another track it would not receive any sound from other audio/midi tracks. Any ideas?

checkout help files for send~ and receive~

thanks, i am also wondering how to tell if a m4l device is the first instance of itself within the current effect rack but I will ask in a separate post right now.

The last number of the path will tell you: live_set tracks 0 devices 

I made an example patch that loops through all devices in a track. When it finds a device with a specific name, it searches for the path with the lowest number on the end.

It prints the path and id of the first instance of a device.

Perhaps it can be done in a simpler way, but when tucked away in a sub-patch, who knows? ;)

Send audio from one device to another instance of the device on the same track
