Hello! I wonder if anyone have any advice on how to implement a function that assigns various note values to various messages (tones) in a "sel"-object.

I am trying to imitate an old modem dial up sound, and I want the first tone to be 1/4 and the rest to be 1/8. I am not too familiar with pd yet. BR Henrik

Hello Henric!
here's an example for rythmic sequencing using the select object, maby it'll help you out.

hi, here is one of my first patches (from here http://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/4543/yet-another-sequencer-buchla-style-not-including-randomizer/12)

theres a sequencer with up to 16 steps, and a bank of numbers that is just a simple interface to an array.

maybe it can do what you want, here it is with the sequencer bank
