I want to use rslider but the range cannot be less than 12. Any tips as to how I should go about this?

Hello.
I want to use rslider but the range cannot be less than 12.  Any tips as to how I should go about this?
Thanks!

rslider-enforce-minimum-range

turn on "Float Output" in rslider's inspector

Thanks for the reply, however, this does not allow me to achieve what I need. I don't need floating point output. Integer is fine. I need it so that the difference between the lower and upper value can never be less than 12.

what about multiplying by 12 minimum and maximum? 

oh sorry I misunderstood your question

I'm sorry - I'm a beginner. How would that help me solve my problem?

here is easy to follow example, rslider range 128 (0 - 127)

if selection is less < 12 range , high value adds the difference.

if high value is past (max range - 12) then it gets fixed

max -12 for low value, max for high value.

but like this it is simpler to see the idea.

can be simplified using less objects,

Brilliant Source Audio. Thank you for sharing the working patch too! I will learn heaps from this! 

(I didn't know anything about the expr, thresh, listmode and zl objects until now.) Thanks again.

OK. I have studied your patch and added extra comments to help my understanding. Thanks again!

Now that you see all of it clear, you can think about

dealing differently with < 12 range when selection is close to the lower

It could instead of adding to the high value, set low one to 0 and

Or in general, if center of selection is closer to the lower side

than extend into lower direction, if it is closer to the higher side

(as it is set now) to keep selection >= 12.

One can even try to extend into both directions ...

I did not want to mention that in first patch, to keep it simple.

But, maybe all is perfectly ok for what you need in the initial patch.

Programming in Max is sometimes like a chess game.

You get all that perfectly allright.

To make it more of a challenge.

This is perfect for my needs at this stage. I can make refinements in the future. Again, thanks for your help!
