I have an idea for something that I would really like to implement as a JSUI object, If someone has already created something like this I would love to get it. Heres the basic idea, which is very similar to native instuments massive synth method of controller mapping:

there is a slider with two inputs, the left main input would control the "main controller" amount out, and the right input would control the "lfo/sequencer" variation that would apply to the slider, so the user can click, or have a slider driving the main center of the slider, and shift or option click and drag to create a range that the lfo would effect around that slider.

Does this make sense? massive features drag and drop which is a bit too involved and not really worth it for what im working on, and I also prefer sliders to massive's knobs, but I feel like this would be a really great UI object because it allows multiple control methods in a small space. Ive made something that does this with max objects, using range, a gate for inverting, and a little drop down for receives from the lfos and step sequencers, but it would be great for space efficiency and user friendliness to have one object that does this. Also the range slider in max is a bit limited in its functionality and graphic style.

I really know nothing of javascript, so if anyone else wants to step in and make this highly useful object, I would appreciate it. I will try some things on my own but type-coding in c and JS was never really something I enjoyed... thats why I like max!

Heres the version I made with max, it doesn't feature a seperate "main" input for controlling the center of the slider once the stepsequencer is applied:

this WOULD be a nice way to do it....but my experience with jsui so far would recommend against this, as I assume the knob is going to animate w/ the lfo, and if you have a few of these, your cpu is suddenly going to be taken over by your nifty UI, rather than your beautiful sounds/images. 

JSUIs seem pretty inefficient, apparently becuase it is all software rendered OpenGL, even if you speedlim and turn fsaa off. If I'm wrong, I'd LOVE to hear about it, but I've had to avoid any animated jsuis in my patches becuase they tend to kill it...sad but true.

oh, sigh, oh well. Maybe without animation would still be functional

you could do it by writing a js that sends commands to LCD, which is less taxing. My personal dislike of doing this (even though I still do it) is that it's not very progressive to write complex scripts that depend on quickdraw commands...
