import external data to max

schurl333's icon

hey all!

i have a question and i hope anyone has a solution!

i want to import external datasets to max msp to manipulate a few parameters.

there is a excl file with numbers and this numbers should manipulate my frequency parameter of my cycle object.
The excl file is from a biofeed back of a research study and I want to use the max patch as sonification.

I have tow main problems:

How I get external data in max msp?

&

How I update the numbers for example I want that the frequency parameter chances every 3 seconds and get the next number of my excl table?

thx for help!
