Super new to max msp and trying to build a simple rhythm generator based on a string of integers.

The goal is for a string like [2 4 12 16] to produce a trigger on each of those beats.

So far I have made a step counter using a phasor~ with a sample and hold. I am stuck trying to output a click or impluse when/if the sample and hold output is equal to more than just one specific value.

In this example an impulse is generated when the signal reaches ~3.

is it poossible to have an impulse when said signal reaches lets say 1, 3, 7, 9, 11 and12 without having to fan out the patch into streams for each value?

Using the structure you have built, I added a select (sel) object which bangs when equal to the set arguments, and I connected it to a click~ object which sends impulses. I used your example of sending impulses when the signal reaches 1, 3, 7, 9, 11 and 12. I hope this helps. I've attached the patch below:

delta and sah and then measuring at 0.5 instead of 1 to 0 transition seems right.

but you can also measure at the transition, simply like that:

yes this is more or less what im trying to do, although I think this process leads to some considerable timing inaccuracy. As the sample rate signal is being converted to a float, then to a msp message, then back to up sample rate the new click is sometimes almost half a beat behind the actual clock. 

I'd love to know if there is a solution in the sample rate domain for more than one value?

Thanks for the tip Roman! i was struggling to get transition reading at exactly 0

Thank you for your response Jake! :)

, which describes using phasor for timing purposes. It might have information that could help you. Why are you looking to build a rhythm generator in the sample rate domain? Another thought I had is to use global transport and transport, and have the setup trigger events at certain bars/beats/ticks.

i think you are right, i should probably just be using a counter driven by edge~.

I just really like the signal workflow and was hoping to stay there.

this is page is really helpful thanks!

and forget his bang stuff. if you use signal, then only use signal.
