Ok I understand: by using a message to set the new value, the slider does
noet output it's new value, but if I use a number, trigger, or other
slider, it outputs the value itself too. Great, this means I have a
difference between what goes in and what goes out, so in case of outgoing
signal I can block the ingoing signal, giving the slider a bit smoother
feeling ( like scratching an LP)

Here's a bit of a patch, that has current pos on slider 1 and scratches
with slider 2 to give you a bit of an idea what I'm doing.
You'll need the sendVIMS thingy from http://zwizwa.fartit.com/pd/sendVIMS/
together with one of the later veejay's
( this is a very simple 'newbie' patch; i work with pd since yesterday)
