I’m using rslider to set loop start and end points in a groove object. I know how to change the maximum size to match the length of the sample using the Inspector. What I am wondering though is if there is a way to automate this so that when loading a new file into a buffer the max value of the rslider is changed to match this?

To get the length of the buffer, you can use [info~].
to dynamically change the size of [rslider], you can send it the messages
“min $1″ to set the minimum value, and “size $1″ to set its range.

Then all you need to do is feed it the length of the buffer as the “output max” value when the buffer changes. Might be much easier than modifying the rslider directly.

Hadn’t realised messeges could be sent directly to an Inspector, very useful to know!

I will also give the scale method a go.
