control@ output modes

[jpsteccato]

starting a discussion around different control@ modes.

there has been some discussion about removing some old modes, so i'm listing out the modes here with some info (if available) and try to describe in my own words (& using the .maxhelp file):

• scale:
  scales incoming values between "min" & "max"
• toggle:
  switch between "val1" & "val2" based on if incoming values below or above threshold (respectively)
• togg:
  alternate between "val1" & "val2" every time "thresh" is met
• invO-1:
  alternate between 0 & 1 every time "thresh" is met
• valON:
  send "val" when "ON" value is met
• cycle:
  increments by 1 between "min" & "max" every time "thresh" is met
• bang!:
  send a bang when "thresh" is met, if "directn" is <0 it will bang when incoming data passes below the "thresh"
• weight:
  similar to scale mode, but "log" bends the scaling curve
• move:
  increment/decrement output value by "incdec" anytime input stream is received, between "lim_min" and "lim_max"
• moveON:
  increment/decrement output value by incdec every 100 ms everytime incoming value equals "val" between "lim_min" and "lim_max"
• random:
  trigger a random float beween "min" and "max" on an incoming values
• randON:
  trigger a random number between "min" and "max" when incoming value equals "val"
• randpass:
  trigger a random number when "thresh" is reached between "min" and "max"
• xt:
  multiply incoming value by "multiplicator" and add amount "add"
• scale delay:
  scale with "delay" in ms
• scale round:
  scale with rounding to "round" floating precision
• moveC:
  ???
• FOXrel:
  ???
• rel1:
  mode for behringer's rel1-mode dials - ???
• rel64:
  like rel1, but will begin increase/decrease at value 64

Possible changes:

• would be great to have a "note-to-freq" mode for converting MIDI note numbers to frequencies
