Hello,
I want to be able to control the layer_alpha with a slider in a Max/msp patch.
I can't figure out which command I should use to play with the opacity of the layer ...
Basically I don't know how to make Modul8 understand a progression of numbers from 0 to 1
please help !

So what protocol do you want to use for controlling Modul8, MIDI or OSC? The simplest way is just to put Modul8 in Midi mapping mode and send MIDI from you Max patch and voĆ­la, it's mapped. Use the "Two way MIDI (Udart)" module to get MIDI feedback. If you want to use OSC you will need to use the OSC module and connect to Max with Max on the proper ports. This is the Modul8 keyword to use if you're sending/receiving over OSC: /md8key/ctrl_layer_alpha/1
