Keep in mind that you cannot get better resolution with note messages (0-127) so you will have bigger jumps in your scaled control values. (you could also interpolate on the receiving end)

you should probably use a controller (ctlin) which is not limited to 0-127 but has 14bit resolution (I think?)

I did have issues sending ctl data from max and reaktor to pd, it seems pd just sends midi data, while other apps scale and translate the values.

I think a handly abstraction would be one that scales the incoming range to a specified range automatically... has 4 args, the min and max of the input and the desired min and max. if no one else has bothered I'll patch on up myself.

is it in the abstractions CVS?

hi,

someone on this list made this sub-patch for me a long time ago (gotta check the archives)

takes a message:

"remap <min_input> <max_input> <min_output> <max_output>"

cheers -andre

there is also an object by shea ako called remap which does exactly what you want, I'll see if he has pd version ready for release.

I though about adding a min-max filter, but it would involve more calculation, so I'll leave that part as an exercise. :-)

first idea that comes to mind:

0...127 | [ expr ((($f1 / 127) * 720) - 360) ] | -360...360

but IANM (i'm not a mathematician)...

You are right, I was wrong.

My idea was:

( ( ( <midi value> * 720 ) + 1 ) / 127 ) - 360

But it's actually:

( <midi value> * 720 / 127 ) - 360

or (without expr):

0...127 | [ * 720 ] | [ / 127 ] | [ - 360 ] | -360...360

IANM too.
