Re: [sc-users] quick question regarding Pause.kr

[casey anderson <casey.thomas.anderson@xxxxxxxxx>]

actually, the only reason im using that nodeID is because the help
file for Pause.kr seemed to suggest that one needs to hard code the
nodeID for the synth, however, im not sure if the synth retains that
nodeID, and perhaps that is why this is not working. that seems like a
likely reason for this issue, im just not quite sure how to correct
that.
