We call these things "externals" around here. ;) > It simply transforms output from notein to legato after these simple > rules: left output: the last note that was pressed. It doesn't seem to do this all the time. With some wild clicking on attached patch I can make it send a "0" to the first inlet as well, although no note 0 was ever sent. If it's in that state, also no velocity output is generate anymore. > right output: 0 if no notes are pressed other wise the velocity of > the first played note.

Just make a file NAMEOFEXTERNAL-help.pd (legato-help.pd) that shows and explains what your object does, what the inlets accept and what the outlets will produce. Ideally you'd make a little example of the object in use as well. help-patches are a good way to test objects as well. > Now, I have a couple of questions, just to round this off: > > 1) The makefile is the one IOhannes pointed me towards([1]), but with > PDROOT hardcoded to "/home/atte/software/pd/current/".

I didn't need to edit the Makefile at all on Linux, however I did change #include "m_pd.h" to #include <m_pd.h> (see another thread here). If m_pd.h is in a system include path, all the PDROOT stuff is unnecessary to build the class. > 2) It doesn't like to receive a bang (basically anything but float).

That's okay: If an object is not supposed to deal with "bang" than that's how that object is supposed to be and printing the error/warning to the console is fine. > 4) Should I put it up somewhere, for instance on my servers svn-repo? puredata.info would be a good place as well. Or I would volunteer to add it to the Sourceforge-CVS. Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org_ __goto10.org__
