can this be done

i.e setting the upper and lower limits of a number object using a message (with the aim of being able to dynamically generate these things on the fly in response to BPM ( for a swing function on a )).

Thank you for any help again

Thanks

Could you explain a bit more what exactly you're trying to achieve?

D.

ayeee

I've got a metronome triggering slices of a breakbeat and I've set up a way to shift every second metronome bang using a delay object and spigot objects. By altering the delay you can create more or less of a swing to the metronome bangs. However obviously you can only delay the bang so much before it appears in sync with the next bang and this is based the tempo that your working at.
so...
I'd like to use the tempo to calculate a range for the delay.

i.e

If the tempo was 120BPM then the metronome will be 'BANG'ing every 500 ms
so the rage for the delay would be from 0 ms to something less than 500 ms (lets say 450)

If the tempo was 240BPM the metronome will be 'BANG'ing every 250ms
so the range of the delay would be from 0 ms to say 250 ms ( so.... like ..... 225)

so yeah

I'd like to generate the minium and maximum for a vertical slider based on the tempo at run time

hmmmmmm.....

I hope that's kiind of clearer but looking back it's quite long winded
I'm sorry.
let me know if it still doesn't make any sense.

Thank youuuuu

i aksed the mailing list on your behalf, and the good news is that it's entirely possible.

the simple answer is:

-create a gui-object
-right-click -> help
-see subpatch [pd edit]

also, Try this patch out:

31.nervous_guis.pd

I didn't know this was possible (but I'm also a noob to puredata), very nice indeed. Since i didn't know this it could be done, i have create a "swingable" metronome myself.

Have fun with it,

yayyy
thanks again guys
also thanks for the link hardoff.
I haven't seen those tutorials before, they look like they could be quite helpful.
whoop
