Simple Question about Lists + Route or Sel

Jason Charney — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 00:31:28 +0000

Hi, I’m sure this is probably a pretty simple question about routing lists – searching and seeing answers dealing with zl list doesn’t seem to be helping.
Basically, I want to route lists to bang in sequence according to the timepoint of the transport. They’re combined through pak and routed into a series of “sel” objects (route could work too; eventually these will be triggering messages).

What’s going on in this patch? My logic is that the quotes around each element should be converting these lists to symbols…and the “hints” coming from the outlets seems to confirm this. But that doesn’t seem to work. What should I actually be doing?

quotes around a list with the elements 1, 2 and 3 will remain a list of the three
elements, which are symbol “1, number 2, and symbol 3″

t make it a symbol, use [tosymbol].

I fixed what I needed to do by using a regular ms metro + counter rather than a quantized metro.
In using “tosymbol,” bangs triggered were erratic. Like, it would trigger a bang at the right time point but several times in a stuttering spurt of useless, repeated bangs.

I realized that turning off Overdrive fixed the problem.

Thanks for the help, everyone.
