How to send multiple midi messages?

Newbie to M4L here. Trying to send one midi message out multiple times, slightly different each time, like 144 60 100 becomes 144 61 100, 144 62 100, etc.

what do you mean by "multiple times", and what do you mean by slightly different? Do you mean to keep going until 144 127 100?

And how fast do you want them to get sent?

You can connect multiple message boxes to a midiout object and do it really simply. Check the max tutorials on how to effectively alter midi messages, so you don't need a lot of message boxes.

Look at [pack] and $-parameters in the message box. This is covered in some of the early tutorials (i.e., the ones with low numbers).

Up to 16 times, and sent right away. I'll check the tutorials.
