Im trying to something really simple by only letting data from a slider through if it's in the range 32-96 however if the slider is moved too fast the data gets through anyways. I'm sure there a simply way to fix this (possible with t object?) but I can't seem to get it!

Hi,

Fantastic, thanks alot! Seems like this is always the way when learning max, its hard to know how until you know the right object!

that's the thing I love about max, there is always something to learn. and the great thing about this forum is that there is always someone who knows something you don't and usually they are very happy to share their knowledge and experience.

Yes indeed, I'm very impressed with the Max commmunity so far and how eager they are to help others learn this fantastic software. Hopefully I can return the favour in time!

The [split] object is definitely the easiset way to do this but your patch is a pretty good way of achieving the same thing. The only problem is the ordering. Max sends messages right-to-left which means the [slider] sends its value through the [gate] before you do the comparison to decide whether it should be open or closed. If you get stuck with something similar in the future look to [trigger] to explicitly set the order of operations.

objects not responding fast enough? data outwith the range gets through?
