@laura_owen24 Here's an idea: chordhelp3.pd You will have to look inside the abstractions to make some changes

Your next task (if you are "hooked" on Pd) will be to learn about abstractions. Your patch could have been easier to construct, and a lot tidier, but that is for the future.

+1 Abstractions and subpatches make understanding and fixing patches a heck of a lot easier!

@whale-av I so understand it I have just read through a tutorial on building a synth and this was a part of it, this is much better and there are better marks for making the patch as user friendly as possible so that's very helpful thank you!

@rjp9 I know haha, I feel like I have made huge leaps since I started using pd and I see it now. It's just so baffling from the start. Thank you for all of your help. I learnt to use MAX initially in class and just about understood it and I basically just copied but this time I wanted to really have grasp on it, this forum is awesome!

@laura_owen24 Cool I am glad we were able to help! Please let us know if you need us to explain any parts of the patches we uploaded. I certainly don't know as much about pd and programming in general as others, but I think I speak for everyone here when I say that we are all about explaining what we can and fostering a greater understanding of pd. Gets off soapbox

@rjp9 Thank you, I passed my assignment! Yay! I like pure data, next year in uni I will have to use this programme for some really big assignments so I'm going to keep practising. I really appreciate your patience and your time.

Thank you again!
