I'm trying to get the contents of a 64 item table to be represented in

Also: how do you generate an array of 64 items out of a table? It

seems to me I has to use uzi to read the table and put into a pack

with 64 items !!! [pack 0 0 0 0 0 0 etc].

What if I have 400 items in a list? How is this possible?

I also try to draw the MIDI notes I play into a multislider with only

64 items, but this does not seem to be possible.

This was a clever trick. I didn't know about the zl.

Now I've got the opposite problem: I want to read values of the Y in

the multislider with a counter (the X index) and send to a midinote

player. But that doesn't seem to be possible.

I then thought I'd dump the multislider into another table (which can

read by index). But even though the table should take a list, it

doesn't accept the list coming out of the multislider. (it prints the

Is that how you store arrays in Max?

Look in the "fetch" command for multislider in the max reference, it will allow you to query data from the multislider much like a table (though the index starts with 1 instead of 0).

There are a few ways to turn a list into a table format, but the easiest way is to use the LtoTab object found in Pete Elsea's LObjects collection-

I've got it all working now. In a magic trick software like Max, it's

good to be able to ask the magicians how to do the tricks : )

Max does take a little adjustment of world view when initially coming to grips with it. You've already gotten some good examples, but here's one that is vaguely like procedural programming. It takes an original table, gets its length, sets the length of the target multislider and copies the table to the multislider. There is also a section that copies the multislider back into another table.
