Dear Forum,

I try to build a system which iterates through a predefined scale (c d e f g a b c). It became quite clear how it is done from bottom to top with a [counter] counting from 0-7 and/or using [%] etc.

The next step is to get a more generic approach on it.
The system should find out itself:

• how long a scale is, from 12 (chromatic) to 2 (diads) note scales.
• how to permutate the order though the scale i.e. outputting seconds, thirds or fourth sequences in exercises you would do on a musical instrument.

AFAIK; it might be wise to find a way to generate sequences of indexes to an array to pull ot particular scale degrees one by one...

THX for your help here!

@Moothart Try this...... this.zip
It is basically Pd Vanilla, but uses Vanilla abstractions that you will find in the list-abs library and the rtc library (Download using Find Externals in the Pd top menu help tab)..
Even if it doesn't do exactly what you are looking for you should find lots of ideas about how to approach a solution.

@whale-av Ooh this is kind! Will walk through it and get back...Thank you very much!
EDIT: Checked a bit: The scale design options regarding length and permutations are very good! Sorry for my bad explanation in the initial quest, but your patch fits it perfectly. Need a bit...
took a look into the abstractions. Again, Kudos to the open source community...
