Hi all

I want to make a patch to play randomly 8 concrete midi notes. I made the attached patch. As you can see i needed to make many connections by hand and this is something it happens to many of my patches. Would it be a better way to make this patch without having to make that many connection? What makes me believe that should be a better way is that as far as i know, select many objects and connect them with one click to another object has never appear as a question or as a feature of an enhanced gui.

Thanks for your help
