Issues with scaling an array in Penv

Questions
1

Hi everyone, I’m getting an error message suddenly and I’m not really sure why.

I have this little pulsar synthesis patch that I’ve been using for a while now which is based on the code in the SC book. In order to scale my Penvs into values that I need for my synths parameters, I’ve always used the range message on my level arrays to get them into the range I’d like. All of the sudden, I’ve started getting the following error message. Does anyone have any ideas to why this would suddenly start behaving this way after years of it not throwing any errors? I tried reinstalling SC and am still have the same issue.

An example of my code is after the error message. Any help/advice/suggestions would be greatly appretiated.
