I'm trying to convert a nifty water droplet synthesizer built in Pure Data into Max. I've saved it as a Maxpatch from PD but I know that's not very reliable. The code (slightly tweaked by me) is below but clearly I'm still missing something as I'm not getting any sound at all. I think the concept is pretty self explanatory once you peek inside the patch but I can try to elaborate if need be. Any help would bevery much appreciated.

I've no idea what it's supposed to sound like, but this version makes sound.

In the "ad" sub patchers, there was a message that was 0, 1 $1 0, 0 $2 $1. Max likes a list of level time pairs, so I changed it to 0, 1 $1 0 $2 

Ah, thank you so much, that's nailed it! Fantastic. I had a feeling it ws something to do with the line~ not reading the message. Just so I know for next time, what do you mean by 'level time pairs'?

seeing as Chris has done the hard work, i'll field the easy question :).

[line] expects pair(s) of values: destination and time (in ms); so the message or list (5 200) means "go to 5 in 1/5 sec", and (5, 100 3000) means "begin at 5, then go to 100 in 3 secs".

Object helpfiles are truly invaluable in this respect.

And to expand on what Brendan said, line~ can take an arbitrary number of level/time pairs:
