Is it possible to play multiple simultaneous Sequencer pitches from a Script?

I'm sending midi numbers to a StepSequencer from a Script, to play samples from Multisample. In the script I'm trying this code -

pitches add: (nbr1, nbr2).

....

seq start: 0 s length: f size pitches: pitches durations: durs.

But it's only playing the first variable. Is there a way to play two notes simultaneously?

Best answer

I would create two Arrays of pitches and instantiate two sequencers.  Something like...

pitches1 add: nbr1.

pitches2 add: nbr2

seq start: 0 s length: f size pitches: pitches1 durations: durs.

seq start: 0 s length: f size pitches: pitches2 durations: durs.

That way you can have fun with playing them in parallel, or slightly offset from one another in time (or with the pitches in reverse order, etc etc)
