Re: [PD] integer values - Pd-list

      Have you looked at ds-arrays at all?  You can quantize the values and 
change them in one go as you describe (see attached).

thanks everybody for your
suggestions.
matteo's example is close to what i need.
thanks for this trick, i'd probably never have thought of
stacking two sliders on top of each other.
i tried the same thing with an array (to have an arbitrary
number of sliders grouped together)  - but it doesn't
work :(
[#many] looks interesting. i haven't fully explored its
possibilities. my impression is, it's good for clicking, but
dragging to change multiple values in one go, seems not
possible (see my poor example below).

can you put an example of the patch you're doing? it
might be easier to give suggestions in that way.
it's basically what matteo has posted - a slider, with
values quantized to integer steps.
why integers if you can have floats, you might ask:
suppose you wanted to cut a sample into 8 equal slices, and
then want to specify the order in which to playback the
slices by a specific sequence. in this szenario i'm not
interested e.g. in the 2.4th slice, i want either slice
number 2 or 3.
therefore i'd like to have an interface that allows only
integer values and nothing in between.
this is just a simple example, but maybe it shows, why such
a thing might be useful from time to time.
ok, one slider is fine, only for making sequences it would
be great to have multiple sliders combined, to be able to
drag horizontally for easy editing of multiple values.
so here goes my akward design of an integer multislider
thing:
#N canvas 78 22 553 384 10;
#N canvas 0 0 450 300 (subpatch) 0;
#X array a 8 float 3;
#A 0 1 5 3 5 2 4 6 2;
#X coords 0 7 8 0 200 140 1;
#X restore 71 53 graph;
#X obj 344 207 tabread a;
#X obj 344 121 until;
#X msg 344 98 8;
#X obj 344 149 counter 0 7;
#X obj 344 229 + 0.5;
#X obj 344 253 int;
#X obj 344 278 tabwrite a;
#X obj 344 176 t f f;
#X text 41 183 0 --;
#X text 43 46 7 --;
#X obj 344 73 metro 100;
#X obj 344 50 tgl 15 0 empty empty empty 17 7 0 10 -262144
-1 -1 1
1;
#X text 62 21 click and drag to edit values with mouse;
#X obj 344 20 loadbang;
#X connect 1 0 5 0;
#X connect 2 0 4 0;
#X connect 3 0 2 0;
#X connect 4 0 8 0;
#X connect 5 0 6 0;
#X connect 6 0 7 0;
#X connect 8 0 1 0;
#X connect 8 1 7 1;
#X connect 11 0 3 0;
#X connect 12 0 11 0;
#X connect 14 0 12 0;
