Hello everyone!

Just a slight issue that I cannot seem to get my head around, I cannot get the second, third, or fourth steps in this arp maker to refresh when I change their output in their respective vradio boxes. I am being shown that the output is changing, however it does not change in the message that it is being sent to, (or so I assume, it could be elsewhere in the line of data transfer).

If you wouldn't mind taking a look and seeing what is up with this thing, I would greatly appreciate it. I have tried connecting a bang from the output of the radio box to the pack message and other types but with no luck again.

I hope this is just something simple that I am overlooking, like usual, but I really have tried all I can imagine. I apologize for its clutter, I am still attempting to clean it all up as well.

Thank you so much for any help!

Two things:

1. Only the leftmost inlet in [pack] is hot; the rest are cold. What this means is that [pack] will only output it contents when the left inlet is triggered. The other inlets simply store their contents, and they won't be output until the left inlet is triggered. You can fix that using [t b f]. Check this tutorial by mod for a more in depth explanation.

2. You don't actually need the [pack] object here, anyway. You are just packing the floats into a list and immediately unpacking them into individual [f ] objects. So just skip those unnecessary steps and connect directly to the [f ] objects. The only reason I would consider using [pack] is if I wanted to make a list of the values and send them all at once via [send] or some other situation where directly connecting them is not convenient.

This is less important, [nop] is kind of a silly abstraction since [t a] does the same thing and is vanilla-friendly.
