Mr. Tunes

let's say an object gives me two numbers - a range between 150 and 275. these two numbers are actually a y coordinate from a tracking object, and my head was at the bottom of the screen.

i would like that to be sent to something like a dial. but a dial needs to start at 0. so how would you begin to convert this into something useable?

converting-a-range-of-numbers

use a (flonum) to read decimal press 'f' instead of 'i' on the main screen

you can break it up into sections with (split)

you can apply a different scale range to each split you make, you can split as much as you like.

this will create response curves. instead of a straight linear line as it were.

you can control the scaling exactly as you desire.

place them all inside (patcher) to hide them away

But it takes up ram of course.

awesome - this looks like it did the trick even with just testing it out using a line object. thank you !

Or, if you're dealing with ints, you could simply pass your values through a a [- 150] object and set up the dial with @size 126.
