making a sequencer and i cant work out how to hold the pitch at the last activated step.

one part of it sends a bang that triggers the vol envelope.
the other part sends the pitch.

is there something that will hold the pitch (number) until it receives a bang?

that make sence?
thanks

try [float]
good luck!

ill try explain a bit better. its basically like this atm.
[metro]
| |
| [select 0 1 2 3]
| |
[select 0 1 2 3] |
| |
[float] [bang]
| |
[outlet pitch] [outlet gate]

for example, the first step sends a bang to trigger the volume envelope.
at the same time it sends the pitch.
the problem is if step 2 doesnt send a bang and the envelope hasnt ended, it sends the pitch from step 2.
i need to stop step 2 from sending the pitch, and instead hold the pitch at step 1's value.

HI tegleg,

I'll suggest that you post your patch you are working on and the problem will be solved within minutes .

ok thanks
its not all wired up as im just working out how to do it.
hope you can see what im trying to do.

seems the gate sequencer in there doesnt work how i thaught either
it sends a bang every step, hmmmm

hi tegleg,
I opened your patch and in my opinion, there are some not so logic solutions. I've highlighted them for you and "finished" your patch the way I think is logical, although I am not sure it is the answer you were asking for. Hope thet helps a little

wow thanks sinawave
im still getting my head round pd.
your solution of finishing the envelope before the next step is nice but not what im after.
ill have another mess around and see what i can come up with.

for the sake of making it easier on myself m going with your solution sinewave.
but the problem is that every step fires the envelope.
what would i do to make it so if the pitch is 0 the envelope doesnt fire?

Ok, so you need an on/off switch for every step in the sequence? I put it in the [pd gate_sequencer] subpatch. I hope we are close to what you needed. good luck

thank you so much sinewave
thats near enough to get me going, i just need to get used to how things are done in pd and that has helped a whole lot.
cheers
