thanks rjp9, i don't know that i can send a double message in [line].
knowing that i've solved it in that way

In the right is the solution adopted using your suggestions and it works like a charm!
Thank you again!

Hi to all, i've made a patch that read a file in loop and with ctlin can change the playback speed. at this point all ok. But now i like to add a function that when i press a midi note ,the playback speed return smoothly to its original speed using [line] feeded by [pack originalspeed 5000]
It works but ,on the first press ,just start from 0 and go smoothly to originalspeed, on the second press the [line] remember it's previous position and jump to originalspeed.
in my head i'd like to start from the current playback speed value and return to originalspeed in 5 secs everytime i press the midi note.
Some suggestion?I'm here scratching my head on this but the only idea i've tried is to feed line with actual value but it doesn't work

it's time to give back community something for all the efforts to me with this patch.
i've added things from time to time when i need it so i think it's quite usable.
help file explain everything (but it's a sequncer and work like... every other sequencer)
just some feature:
preset as a single list message
set for a specific beat
output page number , position number , position only on ticked beat , bang on end page for synch
enjoy

Hi there,
i'm quite new with Pd a now i'm stuck.
i'm building a sequencer and i want to obtain this:
send a list message and set an array to 1 in these value, 0 in all the others

so for example

[0 4 8(

have to set the array to 1 in posistion 0 4 8 and to 0 in all the other position

inside my abstraction i have

[send $0-sx00(
and 00 is the index of the array

i know if a write [send $0-sx$1( i can write exatly to that point but i don't know how to analyse that input to obtain what i want...

Maybe it's trivial and i know tha i'm not so distant from the solution but i can't do it

it works, thank you sebfumaster!

now i can start studying why it works!

thanks again!
