I'm having some issues with a patch which is meant to be a sequencer.

There's a metro and counter, they send messages to select objects controlled by gates which are controlled by toggles. The bangs from the select objects are sent to the left inputs of message boxes; the messages in these boxes are set by a multislider through unjoin.

I hoped these messages would then output to the mtof object, and to cycle, in a sequence. However, only the first slider is actually controlling the pitch.

I've tested everything I can think of and I've no idea what the issue is. I presume it's something small I've overlooked.

Thanks in advance for your help  : )
Here's the compressed patch:

problem-with-messages-attempting-to-make-sequencer

Looking at the Max Console window will give you a clue to your problem. The name argument for send and receive objects must be a single word. In effect you've created a ton of send and receive objects all having the same name, "step", with superfluous extra arguments. Remove the spaces and you'll be okay.

Change your send and receive objects names from [s step one] to [s "step one"]..[r "step one"] ect

BTW, here's a simplified version of your patch.

Thanks everyone! That's really great. : )
