aaip

Just wondering if there a way of getting the coll object to play more than one note at the same time? If so, how?

coll-object

You can store lists of data in coll. Then just send in an index value to output the corresponding list.

so rather than the following which would produce the notes one after the other

Yep! Then each index is associated with a list rather than a single value. Unpack the list and use to control whatever you want.

ah ok, what do you mean by un pack? What does it do?

If you have a list of values/data and you want to use each of them separately, you need to break up the list into it's elements. That's what the unpack object does. Check the help file to see how to use it.

aaip, I mean no disrespect here, but I highly recommend doing the tutorials - they provide a pretty solid foundation or vocabulary for the type of work you'll want to do with Max in the future.

Pack / unpack are part of the lovely connection between the world of integers/floats and lists.
