Sequencer
Jan 20 2022 | 4:12 pm
Hi there! I am trying to do an assignment for my class and I need to be able to use a sequencer to play back audio files. The same sequencer will play for the MIDI notes as well as the audio if that makes sense. Right now, the midi notes are working, but the audio instruments are not. The number box is playing it correctly, but the matrix itself won't trigger the playlist. Can someone help my please?

Like, 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 corresponds to 2, making the snare play, or 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0, corresponds to 1, making the bass drum play.

Check out the help file for the Message box. Check with your instructor. It's an extremely basic and useful object in Max. Then, you'll realize that of course your message box won't output anything, and won't "decode" the 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 into "2". There might be an object doing it, but for sure not a message box. One way could be to use a [unpack] object.
