Hi everyone i'm trying to build a probabilistic drum machine that uses probabilities for each note. I think about it as x axis being beat number (e.g., 1 - 64), y axis being possible samples (e.g., 1 - 8), and z axis being probabilities (1 - 100).

I can't figure out which object could handle that all together in a nice visual way. Any idea?

You could use two [multisliders], one for X and Z, and one laid on top (bkgd transparent and sliders mostly transparent) for Y. Switch between which is active using ignoreclick $1 or a bringtofront message to [thispatcher]. You could have a [tab] to switch, or use [modifiers] to use the Control key to switch them, for example.

For real 3D display, I'm sure something cool could be done with jit.gl.gridshape(s), maybe you could even get a sphere to show all 3 somehow. Map a texture with your data onto it (try the different mapping to get the right one, so it's a wrapped grid, I think it's tex_map 2)...then maybe have a second sphere of the same size and position, but wireframe, and with different dim attributes to represent 1-8, for example. But this wouldn't be interactive the way the [multislider] would be.

3d data?
