I'm working on an additive synth patcher using poly~ and have run into an issue when I try to send a list containing both the frequency and the envelope coordinates as a list. If I use the [prepend midinote] object, it doesn't seem to work if the 2nd element in the list begins with a 0. It works fine if the 2nd element is a 1. I've created a workaround by inserting a "dummy" 1. into the list and then removing it inside the subpatcher, but I'm wondering if this is expected behavior or a bug.

The attached .zip file is a Max Project that contains the main patch and two subpatchers. I hope I've explained it clearly enough in the patchers with comments. Open the poly~ subpatchers by clicking the button and you can see what happens inside with the two different configurations. Any input or suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Thank you Jean-Francois! Somewhere, I thought I had read that 

 for sending longer data lists. But, you're right, the [poly~] Reference makes it clear. I appreciate the help!
