Display data as sliders or a scrolling display Displays data as either an array of sliders or a scrolling display. When configured as sliders, the values are set (and output) as numeric lists. When configured as a scrolling display, multislider receives numbers, plots them, and scrolls the display area. Cycling '74 Max U/I Sets Sliders TEXT_HERE Values of All Sliders TEXT_HERE Value of One Slider TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Output the current slider values as a list Outputs the current slider values as a list. Set all slider values and output a list Sets all slider values and positions to the number received and outputs a list reflecting the current values. If the multislider data type is set to float, the values in the incoming list are converted to floats. Set all slider values and output a list Sets all slider values and positions to the number received and outputs a list reflecting the current values. If the multislider data type is set to int, the values in the incoming list are truncated and converted to ints. Set slider values Sets each slider to a corresponding value in the list from left to right, with the first value in the list setting the first slider. If the multislider has a different number of sliders than is present in the list, the number of sliders is changed to the number of items in the list. In such a case, the outside dimensions of the multislider will not change, only the width or height of the sliders. Function depends on compatibility mode anything is used to offer backwards compatibility in conjunction with the compatibility message. Display slider values as bars The word drawbars followed by a non-zero number will set the multislider to draw bars when displaying slider values. When followed by a 0, the sliders' values will not be drawn in bars. Display slider values as lines The word drawlines followed by a non-zero number will set the multislider to draw lines when displaying slider values. When followed by a 0, the sliders' values will not be drawn in lines. Enable echoing input lists to output Toggles echo mode on and off. When echo mode is on, the multislider object will output any list received in its inlet. The default is on (1). Fetch and output the value of a slider The word fetch, followed by a number, sends the value of the numbered slider out the right (single slider value) outlet. Slider numbering starts at 1. Any number less than 1 will report the first slider's value. Enable interpolated output values Sending the word interp, followed by a one or zero, enables or disables interpolation mode. When interpolation mode is on (the default), the multislider object will output interpolated values when a slider is moved. In most cases you probably will not want to disable interpolation mode. Set all sliders to maximum values Sets all sliders to their maximum values. Output the largest slider value The word maximum causes the value of the slider with the largest value to be sent out the right outlet. Set all sliders to minimum values Sets all sliders to their minimum values. Output the smallest slider value The word minimum causes the value of the slider with the smallest value to be sent out the right outlet. Respond to mousing based on display style The way that a multislider responds to the mouse is determined by its chosen display style. A multislider will respond to mouse clicks when its display style is non-scrolling (Thin Line or Bar). Clicking on a forward or reverse scrolling display multislider (Point Scroll or Line Scroll) has no effect.
If continuous output mode is enabled, the list of the current values will be sent out each time the mouse moves while dragging. If the continuous output mode is off, this list is only sent out when the mouse button is pressed or released. The continuous output option can be set in the multislider object's Inspector.
When the display style is non-scrolling, clicking on any slider in a multislider immediately positions the slider at the click point. The current value of all sliders is sent out. Dragging across a multislider will set the other sliders in the same manner. If continuous output mode is enabled, the list of the current values will be sent out each time the mouse moves while dragging. If the continuous output mode is off, this list is only sent out when the mouse button is pressed or released. The continuous output option can be set in the multislider object's Inspector.
If the mouse is moved quickly across a range of sliders, the mouse's position is likely not to be polled quickly enough by the computer to provide a value for each and every slider it appears to pass. By default, multislider will automatically interpolate slider values between successively polled mouse positions. You can use the interp message to disable interpolation, if desired. Rescale slider values relative to a given value The word normalize, followed by a float, will scale the sample values in the multislider so that the highest number matches the value given by the argument. Every value is scaled, and this activity cannot be undone. Although the normalize message calculates a normalized list based on the value passed as its argument, the message does not update the values in the multislider object itself or display them. Reset peak values to current slider values Set selected slider values Selectively sets slider values. For example, select 1 30 2 4 5 50 sets the first slider to 30, the second to 4, and the fifth slider to 50 (the top or leftmost slider is always number 1). Set a slider value with no output The word set, followed by a slider number and a value, sets the numbered slider to that value without triggering any output. Set slider values from a list with no output The word setlist, followed by a list of slider values, sets the sliders to the listed values without triggering any output. Set the range for all sliders The word range followed by a minimum number and a maximum number will set all sliders to operate within that range. Output the quantile for an input list In left inlet: The word quantiles, followed by a list of floats between 0 and 1.0, multiplies each list element by the sum of all the values in the multislider. This result is then divided by 215 (32,768). Then, multislider sends out the address at which the sum of all values up to that address is greater than or equal to the result for each list element. Set the maximum value for all sliders The word setmax, followed by a number, sets the high values for the multislider object. Set the maximum value for all sliders The word setmin, followed by a number, sets the low values for the multislider object. Outputs a sum of all slider values as a float Outputs a sum of all current slider values as a float. Background color Specifies the background color of the multislider in RGBA format. object. Bottom border drawing toggle Toggles drawing a bottom border for the multislider object. This is useful for placing multislider objects next to each other. Left border drawing toggle Toggles drawing a left border for the multislider object. This is useful for placing multislider objects next to each other. Right border drawing toggle Toggles drawing a right border for the multislider object. This is useful for placing multislider objects next to each other. Top border drawing toggle Toggles drawing a top border for the multislider object. This is useful for placing multislider objects next to each other. Border color Specifies the object's rectangular one-pixel border in RGBA format. The default value is black (rgb3 0 0 0). The color can also be set using the Inspector. 2nd candycane slider color Specifies the 2nd slider color in candycane mode in RGBA format. 3rd candycane slider color Specifies the 3rd slider color in candycane mode in RGBA format. 4th candycane slider color Specifies the 4th slider color in candycane mode in RGBA format. 5th candycane slider color Specifies the 5th slider color in candycane mode in RGBA format. 6th candycane slider color Specifies the 6th slider color in candycane mode in RGBA format. 7th candycane slider color Specifies the 7th slider color in candycane mode in RGBA format. 8th candycane slider color Specifies the 8th slider color in candycane mode in RGBA format. Multicolor slider enable Enables the multislider object to use multiple colors for adjacent sliders, with the color pattern repeating (like the stripes in a candycane) every N sliders (indicated by the integer argument). The first eight colors can be set with the frgba and rgba4- rgba10 messages, the next fifteen colors are taken from the Max application's color palette. The number of stripes in the candycane can also be set using the Inspector. Backwards compatibility mode Toggles the backwards-compatibility mode for the maximum, minimum and sum messages. If this mode is enabled, the multislider object will output the single-value results of these messages out the left outlet, otherwise the values will be output out the right (single slider value) outlet, just like the fetch message. Patches saved before Max 4.6 will automatically open with compatibility mode enabled. Continuous output mode enable Toggles continuous output mode for non-scrolling display styles. If this mode is enabled, the multislider object will output a list of its current slider values each time the mouse is clicked and dragged. If this mode is turned off, the multislider object will only output a list when the mouse button is pressed and when it is released. The continuous output mode can also be set using the Inspector. Peak output line enable Toggles setting the multislider to draw peak-output lines when displaying slider values. When followed by a 0, the sliders will not show any peaks. Ghost bar display enable When followed by a percentage value from 1 to 100, enables the drawing of a "ghost" bar when mode the multislider object is in Thin Line mode. A percentage value of 1 will draw a very light bar behind the Thin Line line, a value of 50 will draw a half-dark bar, and a value of 100 will draw a bar the same color as the Thin Line slider. When the word ghostbar is followed by a zero, this drawing mode is disabled (which it is by default). Horizontal/vertical display toggle The word orientation followed by a non-zero number will set the sliders to be drawn with a vertical orientation. When followed by a 0, multislider will be set to draw with a horizontal orientation. TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Enable parameter mode handling Enables use of this object with Max for Live Parameters and allows for setting initial parameter values in the Max environment. Peak indicator color Specifies the peak indicators when Peak-Hold display is turned on (see peakhold and peakreset messages). The default value is grey (rgb2 127 127 127). Low/high range values Sets the low and high range values for the multislider object. The default values are -1.0 and 1.0 for floating point sliders and 0 and 127 for integer sliders. Display style Sets the display style of the multislider object. The default value is Thin Line (setstyle 0). TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Display slider values as bars TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Integer/floating point mode toggle Sets the multislider object for integer (0) or floating point (1) operation. The Inspector can also be used to set the multislider object's type. The default is integer (settype 0). Use integer values for operation Use integer values for operation Unsigned/signed display mode toggle Sets the signed or unsigned display mode for bar sliders. The default is 0 (off), and bar sliders are drawn from the minimum value. When this mode is set to 1 (on) sliders are drawn from zero to either a positive or negative slider value. Number of sliders Sets the number of sliders the multislider object has. The default is 1, and the maximum number of sliders is 4096. Slider color Specifies the slider color of the multislider object. The default value is black (frgb 0 0 0). Slider spacing Sets the amount of space (in pixels) between sliders. The default is 0 (all sliders touching one another). Style Sets the style to be applied to the object. Styles can be set using the Format palette. Thin line slider thickness Sets the pen thickness of "thin line"style sliders. The default thickness is 2 pixels. Slider values are set by sending lists to the multislider object, which automatically reconfigures itself to have the same the number of sliders as elements in the list. The number of sliders, their range, style and additional attributes can all be set from the object's Inspector. The drawing styles include bar or thin-line slider handles (when using it as a slider), or point-value or zero-to-point in scrolling mode. Out left outlet: When a multislider receives a list, int, or float in its inlet, it outputs a list of its current values. The list is also sent out when the sliders are changed with the mouse. Out right outlet: The value of a numbered slider specified by the fetch message. The output reflects the current data type settings (see the settype message). Out right outlet: The value of a numbered slider specified by the fetch message. The output reflects the current data type settings (see the settype message).
