Exactly.

To my surprise, after a few basic testings, i've discovered that when I move as little as three faders sending CC values simultaneously --and not incredibly fast--, pd doesn't receive a big part of the values (with [ctlin]), staying half the way in the midi-value range.

Even more weird (or maybe not!) is that when I move any of the faders again, the next value that is thrown out is 126 (as if the object had actually gotten the previous 127 and is going down from there!)---------
