Hi,

in Max/MSP there is an object for simple scaling.

If you create in MAX these object with this arguments:

[scale 0 127 0 500] incomming messages from 0 to 127 are automatically
scaled from 0 to 500...
honestly i'm of the firm conviction that you should learn how scaling
works: it really is only a matter of adding, multiplying, dividing,
subtracting - stuff you should heave learned in primary school.
I'm unclear-- are you insulting the user on purpose, or do you
expect others to be equally insulting to you if you happen to ask
a question they find trivial?

as frank pointed out, this should do for you:

|
[/ 127]
|
[* 500]
|

if you find it too tedious to do the maths over and over again, you
might want to create an abstraction.


being able to solve trivial problems like this will surely empower you
to solve more complex problems :-)
If you want to help empower people to solve complex problems, start
by not insulting them when they ask questions on the list.

Best,

Another heated moment in Pd-list history.

I think it's wise for us to remember that not every noob coming onto the list 
for the first time has a personal acquaintance with all of us. We're all 
sometimes a bit casual in our dealings with each other, and for those of us who 
have met each other in person we've had a chance to measure the aloofness and 
eccentricity of the other core members of the community.

Remember it's a community!

Yes, that's a much better way to put it than I did. Sorry for the unnecessarily extreme reaction.


Love, and peace xx
Ed

PS did I spell netiquette write? :)

Looks good to me.
