Hi everyone, i tried searching the forum for an answer to my query but couldnt really find anything, its quite specific:

I need an object/series-of-objects that allow only certain values to be passed through it. The values will come from a counter and so will be ints. For example, for a [counter 1 10], something that only lets the numbers 3, 6 and 7 thru. But i need to be able to change the number which are allowed thru (eg. now let 3, 5, 8 and 9 thru) while the patch is locked.

Does anyone know of an object/series-of-objects that could help?

funbuff would work. Check the help file. Set whatever you want to pass with a 1 and use a gate.

Now if the number of ints you want to track is variable and can be 

high, it may be a little inelegant to do so.

A couple of [split n n] for instance.

Wouldn't it work with just a single 'zl sect'?

This is one of those cases where there is no single object to do what you want because doing so involves the manipulation of some number of very simple Max objects. There are any number of ways to do this, using the split, route, or basic test objects. For one thing, you could go have a look at the tutorial chapter on testing values....

thanks guys for your input, but i can't see how any of those things may work. granted this is probably down to my inexperience but if i describe my problem more specifically, maybe someone can explain.

i have numbers going into a funbuff (right inlet). when each number is sent to funbuff, it triggers a counter (counting from 1 to 5) which sends its value to the left inlet of funbuff and is therfore the address of the number i initially sent. (i use a buddy to make sure things arrive at the right time)

the numbers are retrieved from funbuff using a [random 5] (1 is added to the value coming from random to make it in range) when stored numbers come out of funbuff, they are played as a midi note (there is a similar velocity system)

so if i decide i dont want notes 2 and 3 not to be played when [random] sends their address to funbuff, i need something which allows me to either stop the numbers 2 and 3 going into funbuff or something which catches them on the way out and re-routes them (but because "2" and "3" are addresses, i need something which will know the address of the stored value exiting funbuff)

now i know i could use a route after the random object to route numbers 2 and 3 elsewhere - easy. but i need to be able to change the argument of the route while the patcher is locked - and i need to change the number of arguments. e.g. i may want to turn of notes 2 and 3 for a while, but then i want to turn 2 on again, and have 3, 4, and 5 off.

Sorry if i havent explained myself well, i may be going about this all wrong.

if I understand what you want to do, I would use the table object.

Set table size to 5 (if you have 5 notes) and table range to 2 (0 -

Set table size to 5 (if you have 5 notes) and table range to 2 (0 -  
no play, 1 - play).

Hehe, seems to me Stefan your 'p ass' is an exact remake of 'zl sect' for int inputs??

Both these examples allow only certain values though. To block certain numbers from going into funbuff, I'd make a list that includes all numbers in your range except the numbers to be blocked.

This isn't beautiful, but as long as your list isn't very long it's ok:
