[javascript-dev] talking with poly~?

hello,

i have a patch that uses poly~ to configure the sound of each note differently.

the behavior of the patch is controlled mostly by javascript.

I understand the basics of how to communicate with the subpatches in poly using bindto and pattr,
and i can send messages out my javascript outputs to pattr objects

but is there a cleaner was i can send information (not notes) to the specific subpatches in poly~ directly from javascript, perhaps without needing pattr?

from the documentation i get the idea there is, but i don't really understand it.

can anyone help?

cheers
