Rahm Silverglade

I made a device that uses multiple gain~ sliders to control outputs of various cycle objects, and now realize that I can't midi map or automate any of those gain~ sliders. Should I replace them all with live.gain~ objects? (I strongly prefer the visual simplicity of gain~.) Or is there another slider-looking object I can use instead? And for future reference, is there a logic to which Max objects can be automated and midi mapped?

I think you're looking for parameter mode. Search the Max documentation for "Parameter attributes in Max".
