this is silly but here's the deal: i create a list containing notes values as int, then zl slice it to get the next note being played... until there's nothing left in the list.

1st i tried iter to "shoot" notes 1 by 1 to pipe, in the hope that pipe would delay them 1 by 1 as well... but NO, they are all sent to pipe at the same time simultaneously. so that's why i went the loop path and zl slice 1 the list.

now this's where the problem is: max stack overflow every time i play a chord on the midi keyboard. must be an error on my maxing??

the patch is attached... plz have a look if u can ~__~

thanks a lot for looking into this, err, issue ^o^~

oooh i didn't know that.. here's the text file... 

a few more hours and i'll be with the firing squads. but seriuosly, i can't find out why there's a "stack overflow" with this... the loop should be the culprit but why..?

I guess the attached patch is different than mine (it works for me)

the message object is not like a number, it does not pass what you send 

in. The feedback causing the stackoverflow is the zl slice, the right 

outlet will send a list to the messagebox which sends the same list as 

before, this will never stop till the stack overflows...

There is a trace option which helps to track down probs like that, and 

don't forget to do all the tutorials, there is some obvious lack of 

basic understanding documented in your patch...

thanks Stefan~ ^^ i realized that as well... it's all fixed now. but in order to have more control over lists there isn't any choice but to use the various exteral objects is there? cuz zl offers only the basics.

zl usually delivers all I need, what are you missing? Beside that, there 

are list specialised externals - Lobjects for example. Don't forget as 

long you are just dealing with Midi, Max was able to do anyhthing you 

want long before zl came up. I think its always a good exercise to try 

to come along with the standard distribution as long you deal with 

There are some collections though, which open new worlds (FTM for 

example), but in your state of learning I'd recommend to stick with what 

you got, it will keep you busy for a while and you'll learn a lot...
