Hi Everyone,

I'm working on an audio installation, and I'm searching for lead to start...
The technical specification are these :

• from about 500 files sound database , I need to randomly build
• 3 lists , which don't share any sound file in common
• each list will play its sound files sequentially
• at the end of each sound file it will wait a random delay before playing the next one.
• each sound will be played on a randomly selected speaker from 1 to 4.
• once a list has been completly played, a new one will be created.
  that makes it.

I've looking the documentation about lists (

in particular), [playlist], [soundfiler], but I'm having trouble to build my three lists (with only 18 numbers to start). I thougt I might also pack elements to use a metro to unpack these elements to radomly assign them (which should be helpfull for the none sharing rule)
If anyone would like to share his wisdom about this, I'd be very happy to hear him.

Thanks

have a look in >help>5.reference>list-abs

if you don't have that then maybe get pd-extended and it should be in there,.

Thank you, I should find some useful objects in there ... I'm gonna read through the help files and come back with new questions

(btw thank you for your DIY patches, it's really nice and usefull work)
