this is probably very simple but im new to max/msp. 

Im experimenting with conrolling midi via audio signals but this patch i put together isnt working...

What I cant seem to figure out is how to get it to read the on off state of the audio. as it is the midi signals sent have no sustain or release ect...

this is probably very simple but im new to max/msp. 
Im experimenting with conrolling midi via audio signals but this patch i put together isnt working...
What I cant seem to figure out is how to get it to read the on off state of the audio. as it is the midi signals sent have no sustain or release ect... 
any ideas?
