I'm trying to extract a specific double precision value from [gen~] for processing in Max (not MSP / as a signal)

[Capture~] reports double precision values but has no outlet

[snapshot~] and [number~] seem to truncate it to 6 digits.

would jitter be a solution here? I can't seem to retain the precision using [jit.catch~] or [jit.poke~]

Hi maxers,

[Capture~] repo

the maximum number of decimal places for a number~ object in the attribute inspector is 9 - but I'm still only managing to get six

Okay, discovered that [number~] only displays 6 decimal places even with numdecimal places set to maximum (9)

However it still passes them through to a [flonum] and lands correctly into a matrix!

Self answering thread - but here in case anyone has a similar question in future.
