Output numbers from a notation display nslider or "Note Slider" is a musical-notation-based integer value slider. Cycling '74 Max U/I Note Value In TEXT_HERE Velocity Value In TEXT_HERE Note Value Out TEXT_HERE Velocity Value Out TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Send out the stored values In left inlet: Sends out the pitch and velocity values currently stored in nslider. Display and output a note value The number received in the inlet is displayed graphically by nslider if it falls within its displayed range. The current velocity value (from 1 to 127) that nslider holds is sent out its right outlet, followed by the received number out the left outlet. Display and output a note value In left inlet: Converted to int. Set pitch and velocity, cause output A list of two numbers sent to the left inlet of nslider can be used to set and output the note and velocity values. TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Set and output multiple notes In left inlet: The word chord, followed by a list of MIDI note name and velocity pairs, can be used to play chords on the nslider in polyphonic mode (set by the mode 1 message). The chord message sends note-offs for currently held notes, followed by note-on commands for the specified note and velocity pairs. When the nslider object's state is saved by a preset object in polyphonic mode, the preset object will store chord messages. Clear all stored notes In left inlet: The clear message will clear any notes on the staves, but will not trigger any output. Send note-off messages for all held notes In left inlet: When the nslider object is in polyphonic mode (set by the mode 1 message), the flush message will send note-offs to currently held notes and clear the nslider object's display. Set the output velocity In right inlet: Converted to int. Set the output velocity In right inlet: The number received in the right inlet sets the output key velocity without triggering output. Output note values nslider also sends out numbers when you click or drag on it with the mouse. The velocity value is determined by the previous value received in the right inlet.
If the nslider object is in polyphonic mode, you need to click on a note twice: once to send a note-on and draws the note, and once again to send a note-off and erase the note. Set pitch and velocity with no output In left inlet: The word set, followed by a number, changes the value displayed by nslider, without triggering output. If the set message is followed by two numbers, both the note and velocity values are set, without causing output. Background color Sets the background color for the object in RGBA format. Border color Sets the border color for the object in RGBA format. Display Clefs TEXT_HERE Foreground color Sets the foreground color for the object in RGBA format. Display mode Sets the nslider object's mode of operation.
Monophonic: (the default) Only one note can be selected and displayed at one time.
Polyphonic: The kslider object keeps track of note-ons and note-offs, so it mirrors which notes are currently held down on your MIDI keyboard. A key is “turned off” by sending the kslider object a key on message with a velocity of 0. 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. Rounded corner radius Sets the radius, in pixels for the nslider object. Display Staffs TEXT_HERE Style Sets the style to be applied to the object. Styles can be set using the Format palette. nslider sends its current velocity value out its right outlet, followed by the (displayable) pitch value out its left outlet, when a number is received in its inlet or you click or drag on the object. In polyphonic mode, it will send a note value with a velocity of zero when a note is removed from the staves.
