    Hello. Still a beginner with Max and i cant seem to find any solution to this. i wanted to control the vst with a live.dial in Hz unit but the vst only accepts 0-1 float value. i manage to control it using scale but it seems that its not giving me the exact value, only the min and max values. thanks!

      for hertz values and some other values you first have to find out the math the VST/AU uses inside, and you indeed start this by finding the min and the max value. if you have bad luck the internal math might be slightly different from how mtof/ftom calculates it - or the number range is distorted somehow. if something is not log10, log20 or log90, then it is more or less trial and error.

      Thank you so much! I finally got it working. i wasn't getting it correct before because i got the numbers wrong. i also set the exponent of live.dial to make it the same angle when centered. thank you again!
