lets say I have 5 oscillators with a line adsr. I want to control each release time individually. you have values 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500ms for the release time. I have a mc.line with: 0, 1 10 1 1000 0 xy

Now how do I send the values so that it applies these individual release times?

so i'm aware that using the mc.adsr object with signals is probably the easier way. but i want to know how to do it with mc.line anyway.

Right now, I’m totally into Brian Eno and Steve Reich. I’m exploring their music and how it’s composed, as well as how I can “replicate” it using Max MSP and put my own spin on it.

During my search, I came across a Max patch on YouTube created by Dan Reid, who made a “Steve Reich sequencer/composition patch.” There’s a download link in the video description, but it no longer works.

Does anyone happen to have this patch somewhere or can help me recreate it?

Or maybe Dan Reid is reading this and can help us out ;-)

Or perhaps there are other resources you can recommend to me.

I have been working on this for hours and have not made any progress. So I figured I'd post it here and see if anyone has any ideas and/or can point out something I'm missing. 

Essentially what I am trying to do is create a patch where you can type anything into the [texedit] object and have it stored in the [coll]. This could be a word or a single sentence. I've used the help files as a starting point in the hopes that keeping it simple would get to the desired result. Within the patch, you can type whatever into [textedit] and then hit enter for it to be stored in the [text] object. 

From there, I cannot get the two elements to be store correctly and placed inside of a [message] that can be sent to the [coll]. Any ideas or advice would be appreciated.

For an audio setup, I’d like to start a patch at a specific date and time.

I want a bang at a specific date and time that triggers the patch’s “play” button.

Can anyone help me figure out how to easily add this to an existing patch?

I have a fairly complicated idea that I've been attempting to realise through generative systems but cannot get anything to work. Bare with me, I'll try explain as best I can!

The system follows the decimal series of pi and generates a midi output (say to be played on the diskclavier) that "flows" (sounds cohesive, from one 'segment' (say, bar) to another whether that be melodically, harmonically, etc.). To do this, I have paired each digit of the decimal series with the immediate succeeding digit to form these 'segments.' These two-digit combinations determine how many notes are played in each segment, and how many times it is played.

The idea of the work is that as the decimal series is played through, the "flow" will begin to falter as more and more two-digit combinations re-appear.

Any tips? Or perhaps an example of a similar concept that I can try and alter to produce this idea? Any insight would be great.

I'm pretty new to max msp and I'm trying to recreate 

. When I try to run this I get the notification "specified serial port not available".  It looks functional in the arduino serial monitor and if I hit print in max msp the arduino port shows up in the console so I think I'm just missing something in my patch. Can someone help me figure out what's causing the problem? 

I'm running Max 8.6.5 on a Mac with an M3 chip.
