I am looking for an object to change the range of numbers. Specially, I am working with mice and joysticks, which output numbers in a specific range (screen resolution for mice; 0-65535 for usb joysticks). I would like an object like this [ranger inMin inMax outMin outMax].
Anyone seen something like this? I couldn't find anything in pdb.

this is what you're looking for:

It's called 'scale' and part of maxlib. Works like this: [scale inMin inMax outMin outMax lin/log] The last option switches between linear and logarhythmic scaling.

Yo, I don't know of an object out there that does this specifically, but there might be one. But you could make a simple subpatch that does this. I'm assuming you want a linear mapping of input to output... the general equation is (I think!):
((outMax-outMin)/(inMax-inMin))*(input-inMin)+outMin
This will work for inputs in the range you specify, and give funkiness for number out of that range. I attached a pd implementation. Hope this helps!
