I'm not sure this might solve your problem, but it can suggest a workaround - given I correctly understood your problem.<br>Check Pd browser > 5.reference > mapping > stepper-help.pd<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

that's what i wanted to use in the first place. quantizing the table<br>
values _after_ output, is of course possible, but then the<br>
quantisation is not graphically visible, which makes for a lame<br>
interface.<br>

ja, but changing the range is what i'd often have to do, e.g. having<br>
the user choose a step number between 0 and 7.<br>
i tried quantizing the slider output and to use the set message to<br>
immediately set the quantized value back into the fader for display,<br>
but didn't get any usable results.<br>

thanks for the link. yes, this is certainly usable. but i'm still not<br>
completely happy with this approach, either.<br>
i think a well designed interface allows viewing and editing of the<br>
data in the same location.<br>
