[PD] Sequenz & question about textfile

[Orm Finnendahl]

Hi Mark,

you could do a mapping with the maphash object, store the mappings in
a textfile read at the beginning of a session. That way, any symbol
name could be mapped to any float or a list of floats (that would
solve the midi to note problem easily and would enable loading of
different naming conventions, checking the mapping in a simple
textfile). You could also store sequences in it quite easily and
wouldn't have the delay problem (hash tables, if big enough, are very
efficient).

Yours,
Orm
