Building an and/or switch with 3 toggles to send a midi cc

[red33mer]

Hey Guys,

i am pretty much a max beginner (not a total n00b though) and have a problem i am stuck with.
Right now i am writing an editor for an external synth that is controlled via midi cc.

What i am trying to do is the following.

I have 3 toggles that toggle on/off the three filters of the synth via the same cc message (to a ctlout object).
The hardware implementation works as follows: bit 1 of the midi message turns on/off filter1, bit 2 turns on/off filter2 and bit 3 turns on/off filter3. That means toggle1 gives out the values 0/1, toggle2 0/2, toggle3 0/4. As long as only one filter is activated at a time that is not a very big deal but it get´s difficult when one or both of the other filters are already activated. In this case the value of the toggle must be added to the value(s) of the active toggle(s).

So i try to build a patch that has 3 toggles giving out the values 0/1, 0/2 and 0/4. Every toggle "checks" the status
of the others toggles and add its value to the total output to ctlout when one or both of them are activated.
i managed to come close with 2 toggles and gswitch objects but i am totally lost with 3...

may you could help me,
thank you

You could use 3 toggles with values 0/1 and on each change trigger the calculation t1+t2*2+t3*4.

Something like this.

hey broc,

thank you very much for your help, i´ve seen your post this night and planned to start reading on the zl object today.
now as you´ve edited it and attached a patch i try to learn it now. Might be i have another question on this issue...as for now im diving into it

[broc]

Yep. I've deleted my original post because I realized that using lists made no sense in this case.

But reading on the zl objects may be useful anyway as you will probably need it at some point..

Btw, here is a "polished" version taking advantage of the [bondo] object.
