[zl] : outputting most frequent arising value from a list

flim's icon

sorry to post a new thread for this, for this has definitely been answered a dozen times - but the search function didn't bring me any luck in this (or I probably didn't find the right key words..?)!

[zl] should be able to output the most frequent arising value from a list, no? I didn't find any in its help files.. or is this a job for other objects after all..?

cheers!

Take a look at [histo]

you can keep track of how your clusters of repeated numbers/notes take shape over time, maybe show the results in another multislider. The proability elements of the itable give some interesting possibilities for control and generation too.

[histo] comes close.. but only close :)

it works with commas (my data streams won't be equipped with commas) and only outputs the most often appearing integer if it concludes the list..

Histo is made to work with table to store the data, Table has a variety of ways to query it.

Hi there, hope someone sees this. I assumed changed the message from "max" to "min" would give me the minimum stored value, but it doesn't not yield anything other than zeroes. Any reason why?
