turn a message into a signal

Noah Tye's icon

(I am new to max/msp, so this might be a silly question.)

I have a message [list] that provides dynamically updated numbers (coming from aka.wiiremote). How do I turn this into a signal so I can feed its value into dac~?

you can always use sig~ to convert a float or int into an
audio signal.

simple answer sig~, but I guess the result wouldn't be what you expect.
But as I don't know what you expect to hear, its hard to tell.
If the numbers are frequencies, feed them to a cycle~, if the numbers
are volume, feed them to *~, eventually smoothed with line~...

you can use objects like [snapshot~] or [number~]
(but of course, it will be at a slower event-rate set in milliseconds within the objects' inspectors)
