Now that we know how to user the buttons on our kits to play melodies. Let's try something a little more complicated.
Open the file **second_patch.pd**
\ No newline at end of file
Open the file **second_patch.pd**
You'll notice this looks a lot like **first_patch.pd**. On the right side of the patch there is a **bang** connected to a new object we haven't seen: the **qlist** object. This object allows us to store a list of notes and rhythms and send them to other objects like **pd boop**. In this case, it is reading from the file **sunshine.txt** and sending the notes and rhythms to **r melody** and **r bass**. We don't really need to understand how this all works for now. All we really need to know is that **qlist** is listening for a **bang** so that it knows when to start playing a song for us. Click the **bang** when to have it play You Are My Sunshine.
Let's try to play the melody for ourselves
======
Program in the following notes to the **message** boxes like we did before. We need new notes so we can play this new song.
