how do I set the live.dial exponent in oposite direction?

Hi,

I want it to be exponential the other way around for a db volume knob

Is there a shortcut for presentation/patching mode?

Marlon,

Loved your work in "On the Waterfront".

Try an exponent between 0 and 1. Try command-E and command-shift-E.

Sorry, I meant command-option-E to toggle Presentation mode. And, in case it's not obvious, exponent 0-1 for inverse exponential curve, exponent greater than 1 for exponential curve. The right outlet (raw value from 0 to 1) always seems to be linear, regardless of the exponent.

The exponent seems to be 0.333333...

I made a Livecurve abhaXion to get the exact behavior of Live faders and alike. Have a look at it, its in my Collection:

Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

If you set the range of a dial to dB, there is the problem of not getting -inf. The display will show -inf on anything lower than -70 dB, which is definitely not silence (unless you sit in a loud club...;-). You would need to patch the -70 dB to silence somehow...
