I am controlling a max patch from various selfmade usb foot switches (made from altered USB keyboard logic boards, some wood and a few switches) - now since i change those foot controllers oftenly (and therefore sent key values from foot switches vary):

Does anyone have a patch to calibrate to ever-changing keyboard letters as trigger values and upon startup of a patch? (or resort to fixed values alternatively?)

Thanx very much in advance, i thought i ask before i write it up myself.

I would store your ASCII values in number boxes, then use [preset] for your various combinations. So you'd use single-argument [sel] boxes, one for each letter, rather than [sel 102 79 45] etc. With single-argument [sel] boxes you can change what it's looking for, that's where your preset number boxes come in.
