The adsr in the docs outputs a signal that you can use to scale or
shape the amplitude of e.g. an osc~ if you multiply the output of both
with [*~] The osc~ in PD has a max amplitude of 1, the adsr you can
set to have a max of 1.

You can for example create some tables with names like 1-sequence,
2-sequence, 3-sequence, ... to store the main data and then create a
master table that stores the position of the numbers of the first tables.

Then you [tabread] through the master table and construct the real
sequence names with dollar symbols in messages like 
 [tabread] --...--> [set $1-sequence( --> [tabread] --...--> play
