Hello everyone I am new to max and I'm trying to compose my first piece with it

So here is my problem, I'm trying to have a sequence of random pitches through a poly~ object. I got it work but now I'm trying to add Simplefm~ too and I can see now that I can't a signal in my poly~. Can someone guide me through this. I prefer you guy don't send me back my own edited patch. I just want guidance so I can learn this thing hands on.

thanks.

Your principle problem is that you're multiplying the output signal x 0. in your poly~, resulting in silence. You might also consider using 'in' instead of 'in~', since you're sending a message, rather than a signal.

Good luck, Jeremy

Hey Jeremy I've changed what you suggested, I'm still getting no signal in my poly~. Any other ideas?
