Cheers to the beautiful people of cycling.

I am having a problem with knob midi controller. I want to set one controller?s range from 0 to 20000(Hz) but I can?t cause the max. number that my knob sends is 127. Is there a way to do it? And how? (with a comb of two controllers maybe? I don?t know?)

(I know that is a stupid question?I have just started to use Max/MSP)

anyway?thank all of you guys for the help!!!!

i used scale as you told me and it seems that i am loosing some freq. as i turn the knob.

hi nihn.
i used scale as you told me and it seems that i am loosing some freq. as i turn the knob.

of course you'll lose some info - midi outputs 127 values. only. so 

you scle those to 127 values in between 0. - 20.000

either a midi encoder ("infinite" knob) or maybe use 2 midi 

controllers - one for the rough region the onther one for the fine 

tunig - ok, you won't have 20.000 points (frequencies) but 16.129 - 

but it should be ok - if you want to see it differently, you could 

have a division down to 154th of a tone... not so bad

if you want more precision, an encoder is the way to go

ok i think I'll go for the infinite knob or a sensor midi controller!

If you want to control frequency the 7-bit resolution is too low 

(connectit to a [scale 0 127 20 20000] and listen to the result....)

There is one official 14-bit controler in the Midi world called pitch 

bend, still a little low res for the whole range but much better. With 

Elsewise its a question of your hardware, there are knobs which pull out 

higher precision controller values composed out of two different (32 

If its a rotary controler you could try my dialin from the abhaXions 

And don't forget to read the... but you know that. Beside the official 

ones I'd recommend all of the Max tutors from Peter Elsea , they cover

There is one official 14-bit controler in the Midi world called pitch 
bend, still a little low res for the whole range but much better. With 
xbendin you can track a pitchwheel.

Elsewise its a question of your hardware, there are knobs which pull out 
higher precision controller values composed out of two different (32 
appart) controler numbers.

If its a rotary controler you could try my dialin from the abhaXions 
collection at cyclings share pages.

And don't forget to read the... but you know that. Beside the official 
ones I'd recommend all of the Max tutors from Peter Elsea , they cover 
also Midi problems ()

>ok i think I'll go for the infinite knob or a sensor midi controller!

do not expect from a sensor midi controller more than 127 steps

ok thank you gyus!!!
you have been a great help!
