So I just finished converting some patches to M4L devices, making them all look so neat and replacing traditional number boxes with live.numboxes. Then lo and behold, if I change live.numbox's range to 254 (127*2) and then manual step, its output will skip numbers depending on the division of that range into the 127 discrete values of MIDI. Is there a way to overcome this? Please tell me there is as I've spent a great deal of time just replacing those damn number boxes!!!

Easy. Just set 'Steps' in the inspector to 255.

One other question: I have a live.numbox that controls the frequency of an oscillator. Its output is linear but I need it to progress logarithmically, like a filter knob. Can I achieve this effect with the 'Exponent' option, and if so, what number would be ideal? Also, if it can't be done that way, is there any other workaround?

it can be done that way - have a go at finding a good value, this can be pretty rewarding I find.

If it's useful I find myself gravitating towards "2.5" and "3.4" - don't ask me why, I'm weird like that. 3.4 is pretty steep.

Thanks Wetterberg. Actually, I had been using "3.1416" all along for frequency related numboxes, :p.

I was wondering if there's something like an 'official' number for that logarithmic curve, but this is obviously not the case. Even still, 'Exponent' is a very cool feature.
