Hi...

Im trying to extract minimums from a set of numbers (First minimum, second minimum, etc). I have tried to make a pyramid of [min] objects but it seems that because of the cold and hot inlet something is not working. I want to evaluate this numbers every time a bang arrives (read all values and output the minimums in order)

If anyone has an idea I will appreciate...

Thanks

Leo

if the your problem is about cold-hot inlets, try [trigger] object.

good luck

if you have pd-extended,

try [list-sort] or [list-shellsort]

Hey...

Thanks to both...

I tried in both ways. I manage to get the minimum with a pyramid of [min] objects but with this approach I don't have access to the second and third minimums of the stream.

If you have any other idea.. great. Thanks for your help...

Here's a patch that creates a list of minimum numbers. The first element of the list is always the lowest number that went through. You can access them with [list-idx] from list-abs. This one assumes that there won't be a value above 1000, but you can obviously change that if it's an issue. You can also easily modify this for maximums.

Hi Maelstrom

Thanks for your reply. At the end I used a [pipe] to collect input data, after a certain time I do a flush, afterward with a [sort] object and a counter I separate the minimums. Your patch gave me some ideas...

Thanks
