Select Text With Fader?

[gurulogic]

I have 12 faders in the interface builder and each one selects from one of 12 audio inputs and I would like, if possible to link the same faders to a group of 12 text fields to call from so that instead of having to look at the default values (In1, In2 etc) or manually labeling each fader every time, as an input selection is made , each (text field, caption or comment?) could display the customized input name for each input channel as it were selected .
Am I trying to do impossible things again? Is there a better way?

edit:
Ok, after great ponderings,lol, I have discovered I can do it with an individual text field,preset manager and data inlet for fader. One sub patch to control one entry...
There has to be a more efficient way?

How about populating a list box (combo) with the names you want, connecting the fader out to the list box and using the listbox only as a display?

Well, that makes perfect senso!
I will be using this a lot. Thanks!
