This may be a really stupid question, but is it possible to set the value of the [slide] object? Right now, it seems to be 0 on load, but I want to use it to scale something gradually so I'd like it to be 1.

Can't imagine no-one has ever come across this, seems like such a basic thing.

Alternatives welcome, but i'd prefer not to use line because of threading.

ah, sorry I must have add that for Max 5. For 4, you might have a look

ah, sorry I must have add that for Max 5. For 4, you might have a look  
to my [mxj ej.lslide].

in max 4 you could set the filter coefficient to 1., then send your 

new value, then re-set the filter coefficient value back to your 

original coeffs. a coefficient of 1. means: don't keep any of the old 

values. this is equivalent to no filtering, which is what you do when

Good solution! Should have thought of that myself,I built a workaround by now.

And good to hear it's added in Max5. Although there's still some objects which use the set message and other which have a right inlet, it's something that can't be missed, of course.
