I've just uploaded 'Arpeggiator using [text]' and the simple synth in that may help understand my previous post

I've been fiddling with [text] to see how I could use what was available compared to [textfile] and ended up with this toy.
The yellow objects affect various parameters
Open more than one if necessary
text-arp.zip

[poly] and [clone] and an abstraction of your synth voice.
poly handles the voice allocation of the number of voices your synth requires
clone creates multiples of your voice abstraction in the background, that are addressable by an index that poly prepends to the note data.
Messages can be sent to all instances of the voice for asdr, levels , filter etc using a list prepended with all.
Right click poly and clone objects for more info on these

adding a [vcf~] here improves things greatly

Hi
Do you mean something like this
ks-idea.pd

@domien I really like this, the possibilities are immense
cheers and thank you

@hayasidist After seeing your post in another thread I thought about what you are trying to achieve.
This patch is a simplistic way to add pre-defined objects to a page in the order they can be replayed.
A mechanism to save and load a sequence and a simple loop.
I'm probably on the wrong track, but thought it may help get started
scalar-save.zip

I think if animation is important you should look at Purr Data, the are a couple of examples in C:\Program Files (x86)\Purr Data\doc\4.data.structures\pd-l2ork\ds-demos
omgponies.pd and megaman.pd. Purr Data also has an extensive drawing capability and svg support.
as far as saving as video I can't help you there.
Other graphics libraries that might help are Gem and Ofelia

hi, what if I want to put
|192.168.1.12(
into a symbol?

These both work with Pd 0.48.1 on Win 10

Ok, so Purr Data and Pd-Extended both need a second loop to set the canvas colours after instantiation
