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

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
