[PD] newbie ? - quantize controller data

[ba]

take your range, say it's values 24-72.  then normalize it to one (i don't 
know the proper terminology).  what I mean is since the difference here is 48, 
you subtract 24 then divide by 48.  so now you have decimal values from 0-1.  
now multiply by 4 and use [wrap] to subtract the decimal values.  with a 
calculator you can combine the "divide by 48 then multiply by 4" steps by just 
dividing by twelve, but for simplicity that's the thought process behind it.  
so it might look like

[ctlin]
|
[moses 65] <--- filters out values above your desired range
|
[- 24] <--- sets the start of the range to zero
|
[/ 12] <---combination of dividing by the size of the range 
|    |     and multiplying by the desired # of intervals (/ 48 then * 4
|    | <-----(WIRE THIS FIRST)
|    [wrap]
|   /
|  /
[-]
|
[change]
|
[bang(

this might be overly complicated, because there might be an easier way to 
truncate decimal values, but you can try that.  I pretty sure there is a 
control version of [wrap].

good luck
