Load Mess and Synth

Katy Blake's icon

Hi, Please could someone help me how to use the object 'load mess' on my patch. What do I connect it to? I have attached a pic of my patch. Also, would anyone know how to store notes on the synth?

Thanks

Hi
the [loadmess] object will output a message to any object you connect it to, when the patch loads - you use it to initialise your patch settings.

[loadmess 440] connected to a [cycle~] object will set its initial frequency to 440. [loadmess a b c d] --> [unpack s s s s] will sent 4 symbols, to 4 different places.

[coll] and [dict] are the most commonly used objects to store a bunch of data.

Look at their help files.
