share a list of numbers alongside instruments

Hey masters!

I'm working in a set of tools for harmonic and chord progressions,
and i found the need to share lists of pitches (a list with maximum length 12, and each element is an int in the range 0-11) between .ism

I discovered that i can't share polyphonic data between instruments (although i can see the list of polyphonic data with the debug tool),
so i'm trying to find a way to multiplex this list into a single int that i can demultiplex on the other side.

Anyone has some experience with that?

I've seen some threads talking about this, using the partials framework and other kinds of black magic,
but i couldnt find an example or method which is comprehensive enough for my level of understanding.

any tip?

thank you very much!

 

You could use an iterator to send an event stream of the form [-1, a1, a2, a3...a12], where a1-a12 are your values of interest, all on one wire. On the receiving end you could set it up so that, after receiving a -1, the next 12 events have their values stored in some sort of memory.

 

great, thanks Mosaic!

I'm just working on it, and i could create the stream of -1 followed by my 12 values.
I'm doing tests by storing this values in a table and everything looks right, but i have a doubt now....

how do i, after receiving a -1, store the values (in an event table) properly indexed?
or maybe it is better to reset a counter when the -1 is received and use the output of the counter to store the values in the sequence of voices?

 

Bingo

 

got it! thanks dude!

i attach a little demo ensemble with the thing,
maybe it can be useful for others some day....
