Is there no way to have [slider] (and similar objects) keep the range they output in-sync with the range they respond to from msgs, without adding another object(s)? It would make sense that if you want a slider to output a particular range from mouse control, that if you fed it a number you'd want it to use the same range...?

Not sure i understood, is that what you want to do ?

Thanks...Not exactly. If I've set the slider to output between -10. and 10., I want it to *display* (and output) that range correctly when I send it a float...

It is interesting to note that slider input values are relative to range, in your case 20, meaning 0 on input is -10 on slider = min value, and 20 is 10 = max value on slider. why?

here a solution what might work for you, but why is slider behavioring like that?

best,

Right, thanks Helmuth. Is adding objects (and then managing them if the values need to change) what everyone has to do for a simple slider to display input as expected (at least by me) in Max? Or are these expectations way off here? Sorry, I'm not getting something here...
