Euclidean Sequence List Output
Here is a simple seq:
Sequencing is a huge topic in Max, as Euclidean rhythms too, so you have a lot of options connected to your general Max-related skills.

Hello,
That's great. Thank you very much. I'll spend some time investigating the resources.
Thanks again
I read what I wrote previously and it was a bit clunky. Sorry for that. So, by writing "huge topic" I mean, e.g. sequencing in Max can be done in many different ways and basically a lot of things depend on your preferences and what you want to do. You can build sequencers based on very different techniques and using different objects: seq, seq~, detonate, coll, techno~ and many more. Most of the methods are lists-friendly, so you may nearly always convert your lists (if the conversion is needed) to data driving some type of sequencer.
Hello,
OK, thanks. A lot to look into. Regarding your patch, I'm still learning how much the zl object can do.
Haha… yeah, zl is actually an entire family of list processors. I never memorised all of them.
Hello,
That makes sense. Thanks again for your help.
If you like programming in text languages, I made Scheme for Max to do this kind of thing. I use it to write algorithmic sequencers in Scheme (a lisp), and it's ideal for complex list manipulation. It embeds a Scheme interpreter as a Max object. One of the users is making Euclidean sequencers in it.
Hello,
Thank you for the offer. I'd be interested in taking a look, unfortunately it would be way over my head. I have no experience in programming. Hence questions on the forum. Any advice in relation to building sequencers in MAX would be much appreciated, also.
Thank you
For a non (text) programmer guide to sequencing with Max, Gregory Taylor's Book "Step by Step" is the ticket! Great Max book. :-)
I did write a tutorial for brand new programmers too, in case you want to check it out to decide if it's of interest! https://iainctduncan.github.io/learn-scheme-for-max/introduction.html
Hello,
Yes, I have the book. I'm trying to find out more information regarding sequencers for drums. Thanks for the link for the tutorial I'll have a look.
Mr Yaniki, are you still there? Can I ask about your patch. If I was to attempt to recreate it, is there a standard object I could use to replace the jweb object? Something like a matrixctrl?
Thank you both
