I have a problem I can't find a solution for. I hope that one of you bright heads out there can help me.

I have several streams of 0's and 1's, all perfectly synced to a metronome.

What I'm interested in is to know when all the streams current value is 0 and when one of them is not. These two states has to keep the original sync.

I need this info to build a gate that is only closed when all streams current value is 0.

Is there an object or a smart patching solution that can solve my problem here?

Cheers!

you probably want some logic gates, like [and] and [or]. using a string of [or]s will yield 0 if all inputs are 0. when any inputs are 1, the output of an or array will be 1. If you use more precise language regarding the input variables and the desired output, I could help you with a schematic or a truth table or even a patch. I'm not the only one here I bet.

Thanks for answering!

Yes an array of or's would do the trick, but for some reason I had gotten into my head that Pure data didn't have a simple or-object - I have found it now though.

Now all I need to do is to construct the array so the output always changes at the same time as the input. Any change should immediately be seen in the output of the array. There will be 10 inputs or there about. Only 1's and 0's are used.

If there is a smart way to do this i wouldn't mind an example patch at all

Maybe not so smart, but it works

Yes it does!

Thank you very much for uploading these examples and showing me the light! I've spend hours trying to find a way around this problem.

Cheers!
