Numpad object and value fields
Posted: 31 Jul 2015 18:31
I've seen a few people talk about this in the context of sending MIDI Program Change messages. It seems silly that a workaround would be necessary to accept numerical user input. I get that you're opening a can of worms by just allowing plaintext fields and spawning a touchscreen ASCII keyboard and such, but a simple numerical entry object shouldn't be a big deal.
It could take an argument for the maximum number of allowable digits in your value and have erase/backspace, increment, and decrement buttons. Then it would simply write that value to the object's x parameter for use in either OSC or MIDI.
