Hello, I am new to this forum, but not completely new with puredata.
Now I was trying to connect my akaii mpd226 controller to the slider from lira8 synth in plugdata. but I have not enough sliders and encoders in my controller, but some free pads, which can send midi notes. How can I use a midi note to increase (and other to decrease) the values of the sliders in pd? I found

where someone makes the opposite of what I want (using a slider from a midi controller to play notes in pd) but I guess there might be something that might work the other way around?
thanks and happy to have found this forum

@vamoscreciendo Try this.....

@vamoscreciendo I believe the encoders on the mpd226 are relative? If so, you can use those free pads to switch what parameter they control with my cc abstraction in https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/13385/midi-rotary-encoders-values-get-confused/2 This will let you control a great number of parameters with just your 4 encoders, as many as you want to switch between. It works with sliders and nbx.

@whale-av thank you very much for your fast answer! That makes exactly what I want
