Hi,
I would sum the numbers taken from some [number boxes], using [sum] object (zexy).
How can I complete this simple patch?
(number boxes could be more than two)

numbers generated simultaneously with a definited metro
| /
| /
[7] [4]
| /
| /
[pack f f]
|
|
[ ?? ]
|
|
[sum]
|
|
[11]

Use [+] instead and forget about [sum].

Also your evaluation order is ill defined in that patch, try this instead:

numbers generated simultaneously with a definited metro
| |
| |
[7] [4]
\ |
\ [t b f ]
\ / |
\ / |
[+ ]
|
[11]

Thank's, with 2 boxes is good, but I have more than 10 number boxes to sum, and so I have not succeeded..
For this I was looking to transform the numbers in a list and put it in [sum], is not a good way?

Heres one i did with [sum]

It is one way - not so good for compatibility with Pd-vanilla, as it doesn't have zexy, but I think it is the most convenient.

THere are a couple of ways i guess -

1. use [+] and chain the output of one into another

2. USing [list-drip] to run through the whole list each time the metro fires

hope this helps

I have succeeded in both ways, thank you!
