Slider or dial which returns to center (fa. like pitchbend)
Hard to believe this doesn't exist but O really couldn't find it:
Is there a slider or a dial that behaves like a pitchblende-control, so settles back in the center after being moved by the user?
Otherwise I'll have to go for the mousefilter workaround.
Thanks

Do you mean a UI slider in Max, that would return to the center with a certain response (linear, or exponential, etc.)? You'll have to make a "usual" slider/dial do it.
Graphically, you could use a [dial] with the "pan" drawing style, which shows the center.
What I actually meant is a slider (or dial) that after the user operated it automatically returns to its center position (and sends out that center value). So, the behavior of a pitchbend slider, but then in Max
That's precisely the kind of tool that Max users make for themselves - in part because there are going to be a lot of "preferences" involved in the way one approaches the problem.
For instance, I just put together this quick & dirty version. Note that there would be a number of possible variations: coming back linearly to the center point instead of exponentially, for instance.
or immediately. :D
QED (given those last two responses). Max users like to roll their own.
All right. So let’s get to work (-;
line, gate, timer, pipe/delay, +, -, *, t i i.
i personally would avoid mousefilter, because that thing is gobal and might also do stuff when you dont want it - the alternative is to use a GUI external which can report mouse itself.
the easiest one among them is probably lcd.
