Hi, I'm working on patch where I'm trying to trigger a gate when my audio channels rise above 3 with a "

With groove~, I connect the toggle to a "sel 1" object to a "trigger b" and that to a "sig~" to "groove~" but the messages don't trigger the groove~ to play. I've had this issue with groove~ and sig~ before as I cannot get the messages to manually trigger groove either (as the help patch demonstrates they do.) I'm unsure what could be the issue. Sometimes it works. Usually not. I get no error messages.

For play~, I had to reverse the toggle to get it to trigger the play~ correctly but then I cannot figure out again, how to trigger the "start" message as well as the "1". In this patch, sometimes the toggle will actually update the message box coming after it so it flips between "1" and "0" but after a while that goes dead so I added a "sel 1" and "t b" too.

The patch is pasted below and begs a far sharper mind. I am sorry about the missing soundfiles and verb external.

Thank you greatly for any ideas, at all.
