I wonder whether there is an object that can show which of its inlets has the highest value?

highest-one-from-a-b-or-c-float

Your code doesn't show much of a starting point!

3 numbers >> pak 0. 0. 0. >> maximum 0. >> voila

hi David, thanks for the reply, yes my start is not the best, sorry. 

with the use of maximum, I only get the value, not the sender, not the index/inlet number. Sorry if I was a bit unclear.

no max on this computer but i will try it blind.

step 2 then ... comparing all input numbers versus the mean output:

this will end up with a list "0 1 0", which can now be decoded 

to three outlets using [unpack] and [select 1] or whatever you 

when i am back at max i can make you a better version for sure.

Maximum does give you the index of it's current highest input number. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you need.

edit---- just read your post properly, don't mind me! ----

did you look at the help file for maximum? Take a look at the second outlet.

hi, only the Max5 object does the second outlet, unfortunately. 

My EEG patch seems to work faster on Max4

I will try what Roman Thilenius suggested.

with zl sub it would be even easier, feed the output of maximum into the right inlet of zl sub, but pay attention on float types (your example had an int maximum but float pak...)

I am too lazy to fire up Max 4 to create the patch...;-)

hello Stefan, yes you are right, it is easier, thanks a lot.

If you got only 3 inlets, you could use expr quite easily as well :

thanks, good to know that there are many ways..

I wonder whether there is a way to make the following code a bit quicker (CPU friendlier) in Max 4.6.

I have 6 constantly changing inlets, where I look for the maximum. As a result I get a list with 0s and 1s. 1 is the maximum. The list is bang even if it doesn't change.

In the subpatch I would like to use channel that is on the maximum to trigger a sound, but only if it can keep being the maximum for a certain amount of time (3sec).

Is there a way to make this easier or smarter perhaps?

Highest one from a b or c float
