There's even more math to draw the tick and I can't figure out how it works at the moment.<br><br>I also love how tempting "log" is for a volume control, but then it silently changes a minimum of "0" to max / 100, so you get a runtime error where you can't turn the volume down all the way. Then when you figure out what it did you have to add an object to subtract that last little bit, at which point you might as well have used [rms] or coded your own algorithm.<br><br>-Jonathan<br><div style="display: block;" class="yahoo_quoted"> <br> <br> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size:

Unfortunately, my C expertise is kinda poor and I'm still lost. I see it's got something to do with [exp] but haven't got my head around the function needed to emulate it. I'm making extensive documentation about Pd, so I'd like to write about it. I find it worth noting.<div>
