hey so what i am trying to achieve is have a note-on counter that steps through 0-7 (or an adjustable variable) continuously. and then i need to be able to map that number to modulate ableton objects, like eg. the LFO or envelope m4l device do.

i managed to do the counting part with an input knob for the amount of steps but failing to do the mapping part. i tried simply copying the mapping object from the LFO device, and while this seems to be mapping to the ableton objects (when i move the scaling/range % numbers the ableton parameter moves) the counter number does not get passed through to the mapping object/destination somehow.

i hope this attachment works... if theres any other information needed lmk.

also beginner question, in presentation mode in m4l i see the knobs and all properly arranged, but back in ableton it still shows a bunch of ghost cables and the arrangement is all messed up..? must be some basic newbie mistake?

ok great thanks. i also managed to fix most of my other problems. there was a SIG conversion missing for the mapping object to accpet my number. also some +1 /127 scaling.

- this scaling and the ranges ableton knobs accept seem to differ from parameter to parameter, some are 0-127, some are ms, %, semitones, etc.. how to i automate that?

- there is a lot of lag on the counter automation. i plan to use the counter to distribute consecutive midi notes to several simpler instances. before i was doing this with a fast random m4l LFO device mapped to the BASE of a SCALE plugin infront of every simpler instance. This worked quite good. now with the new counter method where i map the counter to a CHAIN SELECTOR of an instrument rack when i play ie. a 4 voice chord, all 4 notes would be played by the same chain and only after that the chain selector would jump ahead 4 positions. instead of jumping 1 position after each note. chords are not quantized, and it is the same with fast melody runs. the counter modulation seems to reach the chain selector qwith quite some delay. any ideas?

- lastly there is this one ableton number display object that i can't seem to remove or connect anymore? cant inspect either.

now i have two problems:
