I need to implement expr 2^($f/12) into a patch.

my problem is that ^ seems to not be the power operator.

what is the power operator (please don't tell that there isn't. because that would be ridiculous)

Checking the help files and/or manuals will save you (and us) a lot of time - did you check the help file of the [expr] object? The answer is right there, staring you in the face.

I don't mean to be patronising, but a lot of people expect to start swimming right into the deep without taking some time going through some basics, e.g. some tutorials, or checking the help files (alt+click on an object in patcher mode) when they don't quite understand something.

it still isn't working. for some reason this doesn't even output a number.

If you want debugging help, you'll need to post (a compressed version of) a patch excerpt for others to see.

You might want to see also the "pow" object.

"it still isn't working. for some reason this doesn't even output a number."

Did you try what Terry posted? It works.


Don't know what to tell you. It's working here. You just make a new object, copy the text that Terry posted

and paste it into the blank object box. That creates an [expr] object with the equation that you requested.

Also, as mentioned before, posting your patch is the best way for others to help debug.
