        You could probably skip the last unpack and pack and just have a message >add $2 $3| since you only want the second and third components of the list.

        Unless I'm missing something here...

        or.... have the two inlets go into a pack, and then into a lister (from... zexy, I think. it works like a float object) and bang that lister when you need the info sent.

        Might clean things up a bit...

hi,
What I have been doing to organize my message into their correct order is using pack and unpack.

[bang] [inlet] [inlet]
\         1       /
\        1     /
[pack 0 0 0]
1
1
[unpack 0 0 0]
       /       /
      /     /
[pack 0 0]
1
{add $1 $2}

Pack puts the message in the order you want and the bang lets you send it at the right time. The unpack drops the bang message out, the second pack puts it back in order and the add formats the message for your sequencer object.   This method is helping me to generate csound scores. By the way is there anyone out there working on a Windows version of the Csound external? Is anyone using it on linux, and has an experience they would like to share?
