I'm still learning my way around this stuff -- but haven't found a good interface for introducing specific numbers. The typical patch format lacks a keyboard or a good place to put one. Aside from inlets & outlets & send-tos, I'm not sure how to make a patch display short of getting into Gem...

So what I've got is basically two patches, one calling the other to keep things tidy. [Someone else might rearrange this in a simpler format?] You copy the cluster of stuff from onenum.pd; this needs ro.pd [ie "readout"] in the path to put the number you've produced [0-129] into the number box where it displays.

To get the actual number output, you'd connect to the outlet on that box labeled 'ro'.

Useful for Midi etc?

[one row horizontal radio box, size 13, X10 to handle 0-120 ] plus [next row is a size 10 radio box to provide the ones digit.]

[ro object to process that neatly off-stage, number box for display.] fits into the unused space at the lower right.

new version on same patch does numbers 1-9999 via four size 10 radio boxes; copy that cluster instead wherever that range is more useful.

Zip it ?
On the other hand, something as trivial as ro.pd could just be in a subpatch...

True -- but I wanted it to be something I could refer to by name, fit into a small space -- & when I linked a bunch of them into a 1-9999 version that was even more helpful. My mind is cluttered enough without odd bits of my numerical-entry thing lying around in the middle of a real patch.

To post two files, you first have to post one, then go back and edit your post. Annoying, but as far as I know it's the only way to do it.

I needed to rewrite this after I lost my backups installing a new system. Here's the improved version:numberin.pd

You can now enter the number and read it before sending it out.

Save the contents of the subpatch as 'ro.pd' before using. [Clumsy, but fits the space better than any object with a longer name.]
