I am building a drum machine in Max for Live. I am sequencing the Max drum machine from and external midi sequencer which sends many overlapping midi messages. (For instance when the hi hat and kick fall on the same beat.)

What I'm trying to figure out is how to keep midi note and velocity messages paired so that when X midi note is hit, i can map it's velocity to trigger a sample's volume.

Right now I am triggering a sample by using the Select object listening to Stripnote, filtering midi from my device. So Select will output a Bang and trigger the appropriate sample, but I'm having trouble understanding how to keep the associated velocity information to go along with it, particularly when there are multiple midi messages at the same time.

May have cried for help too soon... I found the solution using the following objects. Aint Max grand?

If you use "route" instead of "routepass", you don't need to unpack again. Here's an example.
