Is it possible to send MIDI out info to two different devices, via two different ports? I've got two different pieces of hardware I'd like to control via PD in the same patch...

Using a qlist text file, how can I send data to several inlets as one event. for example, by using one click of the 'next' function, how could send data to inlet1, inlet2, inlet3 ?

I'm dissecting a patch using fourier analysis and have discovered the tabreceive function. according to the help file for this object, the object serves to "read a block of a signal from an array continuously." i don't really understand what this means. Specifically in this patch, there is an array in which one can draw a filter (the x axis is frequency and the y axis is amplitude). It is this array that is accessed with the tabreceive object. What i don't understand is how what information is being output and how is it organized ?

Is there an object that functions like [samphold~] but will pass messages instead of an audio signal? In other words, data is passed from left input to output whenever a control signal reaches 0.

is there a way to resize arrays using message boxes as opposed to control-clicking or right-clicking the array and looking at its properties?

Is there any way to send information/data between PD and Processing?

is there an object or perhaps some techniques for generating random numbers within a specific range?

Suddenly PD outputs no audio. I've checked the audio settings in the preferences menu and the audio settings for my computer (MAC OS). When the patch is running, I can see that PD is in fact handling audio (by attaching an [env~] to an audio signal). I have audio in other applications. I have been using JACK to connect PD to Logic. Now, when I set PD to send audio to JACK, JACK does not even acknowledge that PD is running. It was all working fine just a few days ago. WTF?

I am trying to control the timing of a message being sent to a tabplay~. the message is a [set( message. is there an object that will store this and output it via bang in the same way [float] does for numbers? I've tried using [symbol] but it seems not to work.

how can i get pd to recognize multiple notes played on my midi keyboard. like performing the function of notein, but if i play three notes, it will display the three notes.
