Gain control gain~ is a slider that scales signals. It can also make a smooth transition as you move from one value of the slider to the next. Cycling '74 MSP MSP U/I Input to Scale, int Sets Value TEXT_HERE Scaled Output TEXT_HERE Slider Value TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Send current slider value out right outlet Sends current slider value out right outlet. Set a new audio gain/output value In left inlet: Sets the value of the slider, ramps the output signal to the level corresponding to the new value over the specified ramp time, and outputs the slider's value out the right outlet. Set a new audio gain/output value In left inlet: Converted to int. Sets the value of the slider, ramps the output signal to the level corresponding to the new value over the specified ramp time, and outputs the slider's value out the right outlet. Receive messages from pattr objects. The object takes list messages in conjunction with pattr objects. TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Set the ramp time In right inlet: Sets the ramp time in milliseconds. The default is 10 milliseconds. Click and drag to set the slider outlet Clicking and dragging with the mouse sets the value of the slider, ramps the output signal to the level corresponding to the new value over the specified ramp time, and outputs the slider’s value out the right outlet. Set a new gain/output audio without outputting slider value In left inlet: The word set, followed by a number, sets the value of the slider, ramps the output signal to the level corresponding to the new value over the specified ramp time, but does not output the slider's value out the right outlet. Input signal to be scaled by the slider In left inlet: The input signal to be scaled by the slider. Background Color Sets the first interior color (background) of the gain~ object in RGBA format. TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Set the increment value used to calculate the output scale factor based on the input value Sets the increment value used to calculate the output scale factor based on the input value. The default value is 1.071519. Set the interpolation ramp time in milliseconds for the gain~ object Sets the interpolation ramp time in milliseconds for the gain~ object. The default is 10. Display Interpolation Inlet Toggles the display of the interpolation inlet. Value Color Sets the color of the knob and the stripes of the value color in RGBA format. The knobcolor attribute is mapped to the color style color. Set the gain~ object to a horizontal or vertical data display.
Automatic: (the default) Sets the gain~ object to a horizontal or vertical data display.
Automatic: (the default) sets the display dependent on the size of the slider - longest side of the rectangle that describes the slider sets the orientation.

Vertical TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE 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. Mouse click response mode Sets way that the gain~ object responds to mouse clicks. Absolute mode In absolute mode, the gain~ will automatically jump directly to the clicked location. Relative mode In relative mode (the default) the gain~ keeps its relative position when you click - Moving the mouse outputs higher or lower values in relation to that relative position. Base output value used to calculate the output scale factor Sets the base output value used to calculate the output scale factor based on the input value. The default value is 7.94231. See the "Inspector" section for an explanation of the calculation. The word size, followed by a number, sets the range of gain~ to the number. The values of the slider will then be 0 to the range value minus 1. The default value is 158. Number of steps (range) Sets the number of steps (range) of the gain~ object. The default value is 158. Off Color Sets the "off" color for the slider in RGBA format. The stripecolor attribute is mapped to the elementcolor style color. Style Sets the style to be applied to the object. Styles can be set using the Format palette. Parameters of line's formula that translates between slider values and the signal scalar can be changed via messages or by selecting the object and choosing Get Info... from the Max menu. The formula values are the same as for the linedrive object.
The default values of range (158), base value (7.94231), and increment (1.071519) provide for a slider where 128 is full scale (multiplying by 1.0), 0 produces a zero signal, and 1 is 75.6 dB below the value at 127. A change of 10 in the slider produces a 6 dB change in the output. In addition, since the range is 158, slider values from 129 to 157 provide 17.4 dB of headroom. When the slider is at 157, the output signal is 17.4 dB louder than the input signal.
Out left outlet: The input signal, scaled by the current slider value as x in the equation shown above. Out right outlet: The current slider value, when dragging on the slider with the mouse or when gain~ receives an int or float in its left inlet.
