I'm trying to pass selected pitches to msp audio processing. So for example all 'C' notes are passed to a delay. Using selector~ or gate~ in the signal chain sort of works but in addition to a click when they are switched they shut down the signal path.

So be fore I write something to trigger a quick fadeout and fadein I thought I would see what users in the forum may suggest.

When searching the object DB I saw that the ircam jimmies had something called mute1~ that looked close to what I'm trying to do but didn't see anything else.

I avoid gate~ or selector~ generally unless they are needed for certain things. there's mute~ for turning off the signal path totally (to free up DSP power). But it sounds like you're looking for matrix~. You can set the glide time to shut on and off the signal paths when they are switched. The gainfaders also have built-in interpolation time, but to mute / unmute you need to store the original fader level so you can go back to it. matrix~ is easier (and provides a lot of inlets / outlets).

Plus you can use preset, pattr, or mtr with them.... great stuff!

Thanks for the suggestion and example. Appreciate it.

Im a novice...never used Max....never written code...bare bones beginner. I'm a pro-musician and visual artist. The reason I'm writing you is that I'm trying the same thing. I want to know how or if Max is able to differentuate a variety of pitches and tones from a single input live microphone from an instrument being played. Isolating those pitches and translating them into separate patches to trigger servos corresponding to each differentiated pitch/tone.

      Help me if you can....LOL
