thanks to all for your responses... very helpful! i've implemented a solution based on lorenzo's suggestion, and it works just fine! one further question: since my slider is in a gui panel for the patch, with all the other code buried in subpatches, is there a way to get the slider's send to

I took a stab at it. The main item here is the [set $1( message.  That allows you to update the display/state of the slider without outputting a value. The [trigger a a] isn't needed for the patch to run correctly, but it makes it easier to see the connection that feeds back up the chain.

Hi, you could use a set $1-message to only set the slider's display value without letting it propagate the new value to its outlet. Ciao -- Frank On Fri, May 09, 2014 at 01:24:34AM -0400, plutek infinity wrote: greetings! i'm sure this is a simple problem, but i can't seem to come up

you can also use [change] in the chain to make sure messages are not resent when they are the same On Fri, May 9, 2014 at 6:12 PM, Lorenzo Sutton lorenzofsut...@gmail.comwrote: Hi, On 09/05/2014 07:24, plutek infinity wrote: greetings! i'm sure this is a simple problem, but i can't seem
