Do you know how to get only one number at a time? Trying to make a cartesian type sequencer where both X and Y axes have their own speed. But when they move at the same time they trigger two sounds at the same time (they trigger two steps from live.step at the same time). 

When X and Y moves together, seems like they are triggered with minimum miliseconds diference and therefore sound like they were triggered at the same time. I want only the last triggered number, not the first one. 

I only want the number of the indicated numbox. I only want one step triggered at a time.

Haven't tested this, but suspect the problem lies in the double triggering after the unpack (that button/bang that forces the calculation). Does this work?

Nop, still sounds two notes at the same time, but now the calculation area looks cleaner!

I came up with this sketchy solution using tresh, unpack and a gate controlled by zl.len.

Now it sounds one step at a time (it works) but I havent test it that much... feels sketchy.
