I figured it out lol

well a solution I did was the following:

I created a new abstraction: i gave it 2 inlets one inlet~ and other inlet for data

data inlet feeds 2 select objects with argument 1 in one and 2 in the other

since select sends bangs each select outlet(left outlet of each send) feeds a message object one is message 1 , message 2

so if toggle sends 1 select 1 will send a bang to message 1

if toggle sends 0 select 0 will bang the message 0

then i feed both messages to an inlet of a sig~so any gets converted to a signal (we need that to multiply signal to signal) finally
that signal gets multiplied with a *~ which left inlet comes straight from the inlet~ i made and the right inlet is getting the converted signal from sig~ ,either a 1 or 0 turning signal on or off this goes to an outlet~

in the polytouch patch i just forgot about the spigots and connected the multiplier output from range * oscGenerator to the left inlet the signal one and the right gets signal from the r $-fmState aka toggle

thats it it works hope it helps!!

Thanks for the excellent info, Matthew!

Most likely the Axiom controller is displaying the Most Significant Byte but sending the full message. Some controllers display both bytes, like the Akai MPK series.

Nice work on the tutorial, really enjoying the exercise!
