perhaps you have some better ideas - ...perhaps with range/ambitus... sometimes in trouble - but i only use it for my current work, and so it's no problem 🙂

 

could be nice if you could do the add-system also with an external list input -> not fibonacci or primes or sum, but perhaps also with any integer or float list. so MODIFY-function could be done with any DATA...

 

and perhaps it could be also nice for LENGTH and DYNAMICS, i would like that (all-in-one)
