Alright then, Brian. Since you're the second person to suggest it here's the patch. What I'll do for future posts of this nature is to include the compressed patch in a comment rather than the post itself for the purpose of keeping the entries clean:

{
	"boxes" : [ 		{
			"box" : 			{
				"maxclass" : "pictslider",
				"numoutlets" : 2,
				"leftvalue" : 200,
				"outlettype" : [ "int", "int" ],
				"patching_rect" : [ 209.0, 128.0, 100.0, 100.0 ],
				"id" : "obj-8",
				"numinlets" : 2,
				"rightvalue" : 800
			}

		}
, 		{
			"box" : 			{
				"maxclass" : "ezdac~",
				"numoutlets" : 0,
				"patching_rect" : [ 209.0, 381.0, 45.0, 45.0 ],
				"id" : "obj-3",
				"numinlets" : 2
			}

		}
, 		{
			"box" : 			{
				"maxclass" : "gain~",
				"numoutlets" : 2,
				"outlettype" : [ "signal", "int" ],
				"interp" : 36.0,
				"patching_rect" : [ 209.0, 284.0, 48.0, 73.0 ],
				"id" : "obj-2",
				"numinlets" : 2
			}

		}
, 		{
			"box" : 			{
				"maxclass" : "newobj",
				"text" : "cycle~",
				"numoutlets" : 1,
				"fontname" : "Arial",
				"outlettype" : [ "signal" ],
				"fontsize" : 12.0,
				"patching_rect" : [ 209.0, 243.0, 45.0, 20.0 ],
				"id" : "obj-1",
				"numinlets" : 2
			}

		}
 ],
	"lines" : [ 		{
			"patchline" : 			{
				"source" : [ "obj-1", 0 ],
				"destination" : [ "obj-2", 0 ],
				"hidden" : 0,
				"midpoints" : [  ]
			}

		}
, 		{
			"patchline" : 			{
				"source" : [ "obj-2", 0 ],
				"destination" : [ "obj-3", 0 ],
				"hidden" : 0,
				"midpoints" : [  ]
			}

		}
, 		{
			"patchline" : 			{
				"source" : [ "obj-2", 0 ],
				"destination" : [ "obj-3", 1 ],
				"hidden" : 0,
				"midpoints" : [ 218.5, 366.0, 244.5, 366.0 ]
			}

		}
, 		{
			"patchline" : 			{
				"source" : [ "obj-8", 0 ],
				"destination" : [ "obj-1", 0 ],
				"hidden" : 0,
				"midpoints" : [  ]
			}

		}
, 		{
			"patchline" : 			{
				"source" : [ "obj-8", 1 ],
				"destination" : [ "obj-2", 0 ],
				"hidden" : 0,
				"midpoints" : [ 299.5, 272.0, 218.5, 272.0 ]

i would like to reproduce as a lesson to myself (i’v been putting off for ages basic max msp learning) the patches you are going to work on. I notice that the screen shot does not show how you entered the x and y values-which is essential to get some sound.
Your idea of sharing this work is a good one.

Yeah. I’ve seen that done a lot. I may do that here once I start posting some more complicated examples. On the other hand the images are nice for a quick visual, so I’ll continue with that for non-Max using readers.

you know you can copy and paste compressed/uncompressed(preferred) max patches
from the Edit menu.

U can then create a new patch from File->New From Clipboard

check out the max/msp forums on cylcing ’74
this is how ppl trade patches
