Entering values numerically

Post by Neon Breath » Fri Nov 08, 2019 4:03 pm

Hello!

Strangely, no idea how to do that. I saw a video demonstrating a Max For Live device and the guy entered a value numerically with his keyboard in the box for changing the value. For example, how can you enter a numerical value for the Gain with EQ Height or any other values that can be changed?

Here's the video I am referring to right at 3:47 when he's entering the value 7.00 numerically for the pitch: https://youtu.be/KqujGl0iq0E?t=226

How can I do that?

Thanks for your time!

Just click (select) the knob/fader and type the value.
I think it is always the labelled unit, so if a knob is "ms", to type a second you need to type 1000.

Oh, as easy as that? :oops:

I was trying all kind of Alt-Ctrl-Shift-Double weird clicks to try entering a 'numerical' mode hahah.

Ok thanks alot, will give it a try as soon I have the chance.

@pottering: It works like a charm! So simple, I was searching way too deep. Thanks again!
