Trigger a message content with a bang automatically

You should start exploring help file and reference of objects you use.

isn't it logical that you tell random what the range should be

before triggering it ?

PS. maybe you don't know that in max order of execution is right to left ?

Indeed, it is not random but an abstraction that calculates the min/max range between two numbers. Perhaps I didn’t explain myself clearly. Within the abstraction, inlet one has a base numeric value, and inlet two needs to update the value with the number generated from the list.

If you ask for help then ask precisely.

I don't understand what this new post is about.

it is abstract ... ion ? or base ... of what ?

maybe you need to pak that values into list that updates when any

list member changes, and so performs calculation?

for 2 values something like this ?

for lists with more values, use pak with mote inlets and

for example

expr $i1 + $i2 + $i3

Maybe it's better if I send you the entire patch and explain:

fluid.bufonsetslice~ creates the slice points that I will send to a list. I retrieve the length of the list, and that value will serve as the range (max) in the vc.between patcher, which is just a patch that randomizes two numbers within a given range.

Now, the issue is that every time I reanalyze a file and create the slice points, the number generated by zl.len must be transmitted as a numeric value inside the vc.between patcher. Unfortunately, I've only been using Max for a short time, and some questions might seem silly. I'm really sorry for explaining myself poorly.

I just want that every time the list is updated (so after each new analysis), that number is simply transmitted inside the object that generates random numbers. It might seem strange, but the maximum value of that range should change every time with the total length of the list.

Here the full patch.. But if you haven't installed the Flucoma pack, it won't work. :(

no nothing better to send entire patch

Sometimes the simplest things are the most challenging to explain. I apologize if I wasn’t very clear, and I thank you anyway for the support. In the last post, I pasted the entire patch. If you have the Flucoma tools and try to analyze a file, the total number of elements in the list is returned. I would like that number to be transmitted to the variable value of the vs.netween patcher with every analysis. I know the solution will probably be simpler than expected, but sometimes all it takes is a quick hands-on check to resolve it.

thanks anyway:)

this patch is the perfect example why one should use triggers - eventually even in situations where it is programmatically not required.

even after sorting all these cables it is impossible to see what is going where. including for the villain who made it. :)

the only thing i can tell you is that the right inlet of zl.len says "inactive" ... which means that this inlet does nothing ... but you connected something to it.

Haha, you're absolutely right, that photo with the cables is really explanatory! 😄 Indeed, the patch was a real mess! But I've redone everything, and now it should be much tidier. I also tried using the list.len object, which works perfectly to list the number of elements. However, I still can't manage to transmit the number correctly during each buffer analysis... but I'm getting there! maybe

Thanks a lot for the suggestion, it was really helpful!

I'll post the screenshot here, maybe it's clearer.

Basically, I use the Flucoma tools to extract the slicepoints from a file and put them into a list. Here, I’ll need to know how many elements are in that list using the zl.len object. The total number of slicepoints will serve as the maximum value for the reading index, where I've inserted a random metro to perform the slice playback, from the first (0) to the last, which is the variable value generated from the list (number of elements in the list). This value is necessary to read all the indices randomly. The problem is that after the analysis and slicing, once the list is generated, I have to click on the message to update that value. Instead, I want the value to be automatically written into the vs.between patcher after the analysis. I hope this is clear enough, but let me know if I need to explain it better.
