It works exactly as you describe, nice start into Pd. The only gripe is that you use number boxes as temporary storage values. I think this is frowned upon because it can slow down the patch depending on the graphic capability of the machine if you update them. The "better" method is to use ordinary float boxes and if you want to see what values are there connect numbers only as displays (ie not in the control signal path)

Hi list,
It is 2 weeks (more or less) since I started using pd... It is easier than I thought, though, looking to other people's work, I reckon that I have a long way till I built my instruments for music making.
Anyway, I have attached my first instrument here. It uses a sine osc and can be played via the keyboard's numpad (1-8). On load you have a c minor harmonic scale loaded but you can switch to minor (upwards) melodic and major scale via 3 message buttons. Using numpad's 9 and .(del) keys you can switch octaves. Using the a,b,c,d,e,f,g keys, you can transport to the omonymous scale. Using the 0 key, you mute the instrument.
Not quite much, but it is a begining...
Any advice, or guidance will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Terumi
