Introduction to MaxMSP: Getting Started with Lists
This tutorial introduces lists. A list is simply a single message that contains several values separated by spaces. The values in a list could be integer numbers (e.g. 0 1 2 3), floating point numbers (e.g. 1.2 2.6 0.22) or symbols (e.g. hello goodbye yes no maybe). The key point is that they are separated by spaces. Some objects generate lists, while others expect to receive lists. It is therefore important to understand how to work with them.
