param DAT ?!

It would be absolutely spectacularly amazingly wonderful if there was a super fast/optimized way of retrieving custom parameters into a DAT immediately and directly :slight_smile:

Most cases for real time params, values are used from the getgo and the param CHOP is great but there are times when parameters consist of a variety of value based and string based and even OP based types.

I’ve built workarounds plenty of times that do this, using evaluate dat, and getting .pars() and splitting by delimiters etc when it’s possible but if it could be done relatively fast/efficiently for a dat, I could see it being useful in a lot of cases to simplify / streamline non real-time parameter gathering.

As luck would have it, we’re currently internally testing a Parameters DAT.
Not sure on the release date, but here are a couple of pics.
Cheers.
