Hi everyone! I'm very new to this, so this is probably a very newb question.

I'm trying to build a little system that generates cycles of notes/bars with a different tempo and length for each cycle/bar, then stops after n cycles. This works quite well when cycle lengths and tempos are randomly generated.

However, I've been trying to replace random selection of length and tempo values by [zl queues] – supposedly reading values in a list, and serving them one after the other at each new bang. This creates all sorts of problems. [zl queues] seem to be working/not working on a whim (I guess they don't but they seem to!), although patching triggers seem to help. They also seem to compete somehow with one another and generate sudden packs of rapid bangs, which I'd like to prevent.

Any idea what goes wrong here? I would be immensely grateful! Cheers

1 . check what and when gets sent from counter min max flag outlets.

2. this whole construct is too complicated.

you could try to use line object to count from - to with set interval.

I usually use coll but this time I used umenu to insert list pairs

you need to insert sel 1

I agree that the structure is too complicated.

Anyway if you want to have a changing count choosen from a zl queue you need some gate system like this:

Yeah the first thing is to use sel 1.

Many thanks to you both for taking the time of rebuilding better versions of the structure. This is invaluable advice. I'll take some time to study this! Cheers

Issue with zl queue?
