Hi Noah,

just some remarks and ideas:
In your patch you had some double [inlet] objects right on top of each 
other, so you had nearly double the inlets you needed, and only half of 
those were connected.
In general, construct your patches top-to-bottom rather than left-to-right.
Place the inlets from left to right, because then you see clearly which 
inlet gets what input from the parent patch.
Have a look at the [line~] objects' help file and also the combination 
of it with [*~] to make envelopes (see doc/3.audio.examples/A03.line.pd 
and A04.line2.pd).
There is no need to have several [dac~] objects. Best to have only one 
and use [throw~] [catch~] or [s~] [r~] to send several signals to it.
I attached an adapted version of your cmajorscale patch.
hope this helps,

Tim
