Csound-like way to trigger events?
Apr 02 2019 | 12:02 am
Hi
Is there a way to trigger events with a Csound like score. I would like to have the starting time trigger a note (and other parameters) but something like that does not exist in Max. I tried in the past with using colls and match/select but that does not work as I cannot set a list of values to match. Any idea on how to do this in Max? The Csound object is unavailable it seems but I would prefer a Max solution.

The problem with that was that sometimes values got skipped.
