@gopal Yeah agree, struggling out at last

I know it sounds a little bit weird, but I was wondering is there any way to do so? I mean activate adc~ with conditions, just don't let it directly activated.
I have searched through some documentation and google, but nothing really useful.

@ingox I'll definitely try it later, thanks

@oid I was using [send] but didnt think about using them that way, thanks for the suggestion.

@whale-av Thanks a lot! I had figured out the method, using the same as your suggested [select].

@whale-av Thank you so much for such precise explanations! I have another question to ask (different topic tho), how can I control the program flow based on the value of a vradio object? That means if I got a value of 0, I will carry on some actions, if not, then different flow. I was trying to implement [expr] and [spigot] but did not really work out... Mostly I'm programming oop language, and I feel like I'm a dummy when doing pd...

Hi, I'm a total newbie on pd, and I was trying to compose a sine wave. But there's something I really confused about.

So why these two patches behave differently, like in opposite? (1)
I have read the help file but still cannot figure out the reason, besides, it's saying [osc~] used to compose cosine wave, then why use it for sine wave? I'm aware that sin wave and cosine wave are the same shape but different starting point, in that case, how does [osc~] here handle? (2)
Also, it seems like every time I run the patches, the outcome is different, why is that? (3)
My questions may be naive, but still thanks in advance.

@whale-av Hi, I have sorted it out yesterday, and the [output~] is actually from package ELSE. I did use a self-defined [wsprobe~]. The problem is I have only installed ouptut~.pd, but it seems like that the whole ELSE package should be installed, then it's done.

step1.pd
When I was trying to run this file, there's an error saying "
lb -init
... couldn't create
lb -init
... couldn't create
lb -init
... couldn't create
"
Does anyone have any idea?
I think it may be related to [output~], because once I placed [output~], these errors jumped out.
