Hello

I have imported a patch dump which has sysex strings containing MIDI data values for various synth parameters. There was no problem in extracting specific data values using $27, $45 etc.etc. Now I would like to normalize each extracted data value to a range of 0 - 1. This is easy enough for example, multiplying oscillator output values of 0 - 100 by 0.01, dividing pitch bend range values of 0 -12 by 12 etc.etc. Now I would like to assign variables to each of these normalized values like $output_osc1= 0.79, $pitch bend = 0.67 ... (I need to normalize these values for sending osc packets.) How can one do this in Pd ? Any advice would be appreciated.

Many Thanks,
e

Hello again

Just to clarify: the assigned variables should look like
$output_osc1 = midi_data_value of parameter / 100 or
$pitch_bend = midi_data_value (of respective parameter) / 12

I hope someone can throw light on this.

The closest thing to variable in Pd is probably the [value] object. Or [send]/[receive] and storing it in a [f ] or [symbol] or something.

Thanks, for pointing me in the right direction Maelstorm. I guess that I'll have to learn some more about the objects you mentioned.

Regards,
