I'm trying to modify the wavetables in the audio examples with a message box that will include the cosinesum argument with 7 variables for its parameters, rather than "set" integers. I've been trying to figure out how to work with more than one variable at a time - how is this accomplished in Pd?

I'm essentially trying to define randomly generated variables that I can then use to modify the wavetable. $1 in the message box works fine, but I need more than one variable for the list of parameters in cosinesum. Trying to have $2, $3, $4, etc just gives error messages.

What kind of error messages do you get? Using $2 $3 $4 ... in message boxes works fine, but you need to send a list into this message box. You can create such a list with [pack 0 0 0 0 ...].

So for example this should work:

[nbx] [nbx] [nbx] [nbx] | | | / [pack 0 0 0 0] | [whatever $1 $2 $3 and $4( | ...

See section 2.6.5 "dollar signs" of the Pd manual for the gory details: http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/Pd_documentation/x2.htm#s6.5 and the help patch: doc/2.control.examples/14.dollarsigns.pd

Or this so it only sends when you explicitly tell it.

[bang( | [nbx] | | [f ] [nbx] [nbx] [nbx] | | | / [pack 0 0 0 0] | [whatever $1 $2 $3 and $4( |
