I've been making this patch Im certain everything ended up working the way I wanted it to until the note output,

I think what I actually need is polyphonic MIDI output, to get the destination hardware to give monophonic audio output.

The most plainly I can put it is I have a sequence of 8 steps, I'd like each step to also send a note off value for the previous step.

Thanks for any help, this site is helping a lot.

in the attached patch, my problem is down at the very bottom. I was able to get each midi note number of the 8 steps isolated, you can see the "read midi note" boxes are attached to "r vtx" boxes, this allows access to the current step midi note message as well as the 8 previous steps midi note messages. From there I can't seem to figure out anything that works.

Now Im 99% sure it has something to do with the " poly" object, but I'm still not exactly sure how I should patch up the message boxes. Can someone point out a patch that does this? It's just somehow a message box where I can keep changing both numbers. Thanks

do you realize that [makenote] outputs both the note on and note off data?

you seem to be trying to force it manually to do what it does automatically anyway.

Ha! I should give that a go, thats really funny I kinda over complicated things trying to calculate durations
