Would anyone suggests how to change or send a seed number to a [random N], so I don't need to keep on clicking the chosen seed N? I was thinking of making a table message for seed numbers every 2 sec or so, but not sure how .
I started like this;

[metro 250]
|\
| \
| [f] [+1] <--counter
| |
| [mod 8]
| |
| [sel 0]
| |
| [seed 1( , [seed 2( , [seed N(
| /
|/
[random N]
|
[+ 48]
|
[mtof]
|
[osc~]
|\
[dac~]

thank you...

hey that's really cool. i didnt think that reseeding a random will always make it output the same values.

what you have done looks fine to me, except you didn't include a trigger.

[metro 250]
|
[t b b]
| \
| [f ][+ 1]

then:

[sel 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7]
| |
[seed 1( |
|
[seed 2( ...etc

thanks for reply hardoff. yes, seed is kinda having a preset sequence of notes depending on the seed #
I add the [t b b] & [sel 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7], then the [seed Numbers] & its not exactly what I'm looking for. I like to be able to just select a seed # instead of retyping it.

[metro 250]
|\
| \
| [f] [+1]
| |
| [mod 8]
| |
| [sel 0]
| |
| [seed N] <-- with this it plays back same seq for 8 beats until I type a new 'N'
| /
|/
[random 8]
|
[+ 48]
|

So basically, I would like the 'N' to be determined. Say i only like the seq pattern of [seed 5], [seed 9], [seed 10] & [seed 13]. I would like this seed 'N' playing in that order or could be random. So [seed 5] will be playing 4x then goes to [seed 9] & so forth before it goes back to [seed 5 again]. Or it could be randomly selected after playing each seeds 4x.
It's been fun learning PD, about 2 weeks now...

in that case, increase your trigger to [t b b b] and add another [mod] [select] section.

[mod 32]
|
[sel 0 1 2 3]
| |
[seed 5( [seed 9( ...etc

this should be triggered first by the right outlet of the [t b b b]

thanks for the suggestion. i ended up using a different method, inspired by your idea. it works nice with a pre determined scale or notes, but random works fine too as it has a repetitive pattern (seed#). check out the attached. appreciate your reply.
thanks to marius as well

happy PD!
