I need help and would like to know if what I would like to achieve is possible within Max.

I’m using the rslider object to control the loop Min and loop Max of the Groove~ object.

Two things I really like about the rslider, is that by pressing and holding the Alt key while moving the mouse up/down changes the size of the Min/Max area. And also with the Command key pressed, moving the mouse from Left/Right moves the selected area while keeping its size.

I’m using Max during live performance without using my mouse nor my computer keyboard.

I would like to be able to control these two parameters (the click Alt and Command key while moving the mouse movement) with my midi controller.

I figured there could be a way by controlling in some ways the inputs of the two slider inlets (Sets current Low and High value) with some maths.

If you have any idea, please let me know.

And thank you very much for your help.

Here's a quick and dirty patch. Connect the low, high and move band to any controller.

I will now try to figure with your work away to implement the by pressing and holding Alt key while moving the mouse up/down which changes the size of the Min/Max area.

Thanks a lot Rick.
It works perfectly.
It is great.

For the alt key just use the same idea as with move band. The only difference is one side, the low or high, moves in the opposite direction. hth
