I'm trying to create harmonics using 2 poly~ objects. I've managed to make it so that a list is sent to a message box saying "target $1, $2" where 1 is the voice number and 2 is the frequency. You can check out the patch below to see what I mean and how I created the list. The problem I've run into is that the frequencies being sent don't all change simultaneously (or as close to simultaneous as possible). I've checked the patch using debugging and the timings seem to be correct, so I can't really figure out the problem. Your help would be appreciated!

beside that you can probably do a lot of things easier to rech the same thing your patch should at this specific position do what you want.

to make sure that things arrive in time, you have to put the message which triggers them into the high priority thread, which is usually done by [delay 1] - or by objects like metro and uzi.

but: do you have high priority turned on? (audio setup / overdrive on)

if yes, everything coming from that uzi should 1. remain 100% successive and 2. arrive within the same millisecond.

I did not have high priority turned on. I will educate myself more on it also. I truly appreciate your help, as I am really adamant on learning Max and don't have anyone to ask other than here on the forums.

Could you possibly point out how I can achieve the same thing in an easier method? You don't have to elaborate much if you don't have the time, I'd be happy with just a list of objects I can look up and learn about myself.

Also the problem is that the frequency from [mtof] isn't in sync with the series from [zl iter]. I tried using [fswap] and it did help a bit but there is a latency innate within my path I guess. I need to find a better way to achieve the same thing, as you said.

This is a simple way of mtof to 16 x freq, starting from 2.

And, my advice to keep stuff in [p xxx] instead of [xxx] patchers

does not work with poly, so P2 is just stealing resources.

There are other things to be optimised in the posted patch ...

My advice - spend some time reading help files for at least objects that You use.

Then You get ideas how to do this or that, like for example uzi to start counting

I'll keep at the help and reference files then. I guess I got over excited and felt I was close to achieving what I wanted. Thanks again for your help!
