i want to be able to get some way of running through them all individually?

heres my patch so far, its isn't correct as it only get 1/4 of the possible values.

Maybe you need to set the carry count flags on your counters to bang.

this is how I would implement it... (sorry if I am not being helpful)

your patch looks too complicated...

Thanks for your help Ahmet, your patch seems to have done the trick.

(Your right mine was a little complicated!)

@ahmet if you get chance would you mind annotating your patch, just so i can understand it a little.

I don't have Max installed on this computer, but I can just explain it.

each uzi represents a single color plane of RGB.

each value of uzi-B triggers uzi-G to spit out values from 0 to 255.

and in turn each value of uzi-G triggers uzi-R to spit out values from 0 to 255.

values from uzi-B and uzi-G is collected in a [pack 0 0 0] as the second and third inlet argument.

values from uzi-R triggers the [pack] as it is the first inlet argument.

in the end you get a RGB list for every possible values...

I hope this helps (I can post an annotated patch later today).

Here is the patch with annotations. I also added a small proof of concept patch to help you better understand it.

you could also put the patch in debug mode and step through to better understand the process; control loops in max are always tricky to implement and get your head around (due to the unsuitability of data-flow model)

Thanks for the help everyone (sorry for the late reply)

I'm going to have a tinker with my patch see if i can get the result I'm after now that you guys have solved that little issue.
