I'm using the object zl.lookup to choose a frequency from an array of 127 frequencies by using a midi keyboard to choose which frequency to play. Each key is extract different frequency number.

kslider

loadbang

zl.lookup

unpack

midiparse

midiin

I would like to have the option to play only on the white keys and still get numbers that are follows each other.

If I press middle C I get the number 60 and if I pressed the following key C sharp I'll get 61, for D I'll get 62 etc etc

I would like to have the option to get following numbers (60,61,62,63... ) for pressing only the white keys.

How can I do so?
Thanks

you can use the usual math to contruct diatonic scales, but it is probably better to use a simple list.

use this to generate, then use coll (or zl nth / zl lookup)

#P newex 54 74 216 196617 list 0 2 4 5 7 9 11 12 14 16 17 19 21 23 24 26 28 29 31 33 35 36 38 40 41 43 45 47 48 50 52 53 55 57 59 60 62 64 65 67 69 71 72 74 76 77 79 81 83 84 86 88 89 91 93 95 96 98 100 101 103 105 107 108 110 112 113 115 117 119 120 122 124 125 127;

How can I open the code you shared in max?

Thanks for your replay.

With this old style max patches you select everything including / between

copy, and in max paste or new from clipboard.

If you want to use only white keys, filter out black ones using zl filter.

That would let you use remaining 75 white keys.

Then use white key numbers to recall any frequency you assign it to.

or to map any midi note number to white keys, whatever

For examle using coll

etc

Can you show an example? I can't wrap my head around it

My list of frequency is fixed. I want to access each index of that list using only the white keys. So my white keys should be following numbers 60,61,62,63,64 etc to access each of the 127 frequencies instead of 60,62,64,65,67 etc

How can you access 127 frequencies using only 75 white keys ?

And that 75 white keys would remain on hypothetical 128 key keyboard.

Yes, you are right. I can't access all those frequencies. I might anyway use only the middle range of the list (between 30 to 105)

If we are talking about midi keyboards and white keys it is clear

what is intended for playing the frequencies.

In max one can make kslider with hundreds of keys, but then why

keys and notes ? And not some sort of buttons ?

Anyway, it is easy to use only white keys, you can also transpose the range

of the incoming notes from keyboard to reach other freq. list items.
