What is the simplest way of getting Umenu options into the Coll object. For instance if the Umenu options are related to a text file that contains a musical scale, I hit 'Minor' on the Umenu, then this text file goes into coll.

umenu-into-coll

Anyway, I think the easiest method is to have the scales in a coll, and then just use the "item number" outlet of umenu to directly select between them in the coll.

If you already have the musical scales in a text file, then post it here and we can perhaps help you transfer it?

Ok so I can step through the scales in a coll? How do I do this? I was looking at having a number of different text files containing each scale and feeding them into coll.

yeah, you don't need to have that step. Let me make you a quick example to show you.

Thanks for the patch man, but Im wondering with yours when say we have the major selected is it then randomly picking notes from just the major scale and so forth?

bingo. you can check the output from coll with a message box.
