As reported in the help you can send a list in the form of a simple message i.e<10 20 30 40 ecc>, or a message starting with list (i.e list 1 2 3 4...n) in the first inlet

@RICCARDO DAPELO that doesn't work for me...
@LUVULONGTIME yes maybe mcs.sig~ object is theoretically what I need, but it is not suitable when using a lot of channels...

Yes, both you are right! Sorry, I didn't see that I was using mcs.sig. I didn't even know the difference between the two. Anyway, I see that mc.sig works with applyvalues, while it does not reply to the simple message or even to the list.
