Sorry, no spectacular physics inside here, but just a little patch to store 4 numeric values (each ranging from 0..63) in a single float. There's an encoder and a decoder. I'm going to try to build an 8 voice recording system for which i don't want to use to many tables to make patching easy (since the range of my playing is limitted anyway).

Maybe it's of any use to anyone...

Enjoy it,

Hi Domien,

that's great stuff I would like to use it to store values from a sequencer, as I have four rows of sixteen values it makes a lot of save modules, and a lot of patching for save and load, so this could save me some time.
So here's the question how can I change it so that it records from 0 to 127, and more, as I have glide, decay values for each step and a metronome value, say a 0 to 3000 range... ?

Wow, so simple! My patch was so messy. I just upgradet it to 7 bit for midi messages. Thank you for this.

it's always the simple ideas that are the best. Domien, this is brilliant! love it

If your saving system can work with symbols you can use [pack f f f] and [l2s -] and then [s2l -] and [unpack f f f] backwards.

(well, it is not vanilla...)
