Great tutorial! I am absolutely amazed at the support for Max, both here on the site and within the program itself. If everything was this well-documented bugs would be an endangered species...

This video was my first experience with Max, and I had to watch this several times and follow along before I really was able to mimic the way this worked, though. I missed a few key things, but in case anyone out there is struggling, the colored area is a "panel" object. Also, the dials have a setting of "Float Output," you need to check that and then set the dial's "Number of Steps / Range" value to 1. Also, the "flonum" object has a "Number of Decimal Places" attribute that defaults to 0, you have to set it to 4 to see the level of precision that's presented here.

Again, maybe I'm totally missing something that pointed this out, as I said, this is my first experience with Max. Looking forward to the rest of the tutorials!

Cheers,
