the range of live.numbox is always limited to 127.. i know how to change it in the inspector.. but the problem is..
the max range of the numbox must be the total time of a sample..

i use info~ to get the total time served in a floatbox…

Doing so is likely to break your device presets/automation.

“Doing so is likely to break your device presets/automation” – that’s not really applicable in a lot of cases. In fact, if you’ve got a dynamically changing range, why would you want to automate the number in the first place?

That’ll let you dynamically scale *and* automate.

But then the number box you’re altering isn’t representing the outgoing data any more. You’d have to create an additional object after the [scale] object to represent the data. But why use live.numbox then?

To get the visual aesthetic of a live.numbox while still allowing for a range-modifiable number object, I laid a live.numbox with transparent font under a standard Max number box with transparent border and background. This replicates the standard mode of live.numbox fine.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s all purely cosmetic consistency between the UI. I realise similar functionality can be replicated using the standard object sets. I was just hoping I had missed an option within the inspector of the live.objects to allow this kind of thing.
