I'm just getting back into PD having not used it for a while, i swear i used to do this, but if i did, i can't remember how anymore.

I want to separate note on and note off packed lists, so note on (2 string) lists go one way and note off (2 string lists with 2nd value 0) go the other.

Thanks for any help

@pure-data-troubles You can use [route 0] but of course you will need to reverse the list first (and reverse it again afterwards if needs be).
If you don't want the note off messages at all you can just use [stripnote]
Something like this...... although there might be a better way.
If you need the note off as a list x 0 then just add a message after the left outlet of [route 0] ....... [$1 0( and that will add the zero.

perfect. Thanks David. Of course, i was trying to deal with $2. Much easier to make it $1 and manage it.
Cheers

@pure-data-troubles Also possible:

For the sake of completeness, there is also [swap].

Thanks all.
Some interesting stuff to play with.
I have a question about [notein]. It seems to me that it shouldn't really work with pack, because in a MIDI message, the note value would come first then the velocity, thus the velocity would reach the cold inlet after the note and not trigger the pack to output.
Yet it does work without requiring any delay to the note value.
Does that mean [notein] deliberately sends the velocity message out slightly ahead? Effectively reversing the MIDI order to make PD function better?
See what i mean?

@ddw_music
Yeah, needs a bit more to work properly though
