I have been having trouble figuring out how to connect sequencers to envelopes (ie trigger them). I have looked through the "adsr" and other examples under envelopes in the docs. The sequencers I have been trying to mess with are textfile qlist and tabread or was it tablist I can't remember it is the one under analogue sequencer in the docs.
with more focus: (1) at what point does an envelope intersect with the oscillator? Sometimes I have seen it at *~ other times it is elsewhere. (2) where and how does the sequencer trigger the envelopes.
Secondly, is it possible to create 2nd-order or metalists? What I have in mind is to have a series independent sequencers (ie tabread or whatever)and then create macrostructures by higher-order "sequencers" which trigger and read off the first order lists in a specified sequential order.
thanks for entertaining the questions of a newbie

The adsr in the docs outputs a signal that you can use to scale or shape the amplitude of e.g. an osc~ if you multiply the output of both with [*~] The osc~ in PD has a max amplitude of 1, the adsr you can set to have a max of 1.
Secondly, is it possible to create 2nd-order or metalists? What I have in mind is to have a series independent sequencers (ie tabread or whatever)and then create macrostructures by higher-order "sequencers" which trigger and read off the first order lists in a specified sequential order.
You can for example create some tables with names like 1-sequence, 2-sequence, 3-sequence, ... to store the main data and then create a master table that stores the position of the numbers of the first tables.
Then you [tabread] through the master table and construct the real sequence names with dollar symbols in messages like [tabread] --...--> [set $1-sequence( --> [tabread] --...--> play
