Hi

I'm sure the answer to this is staring me in the face....

Please have a look at the attached.

I understand the line~ ramp that controls the smooth fade in and out of the volume of the patch, but how do I use that so that when I rebang to get a new random frequency, there's no click? I'm after a smooth transition from one frequency to the next.

I'm guessing its another "line" object, but not sure.

Thanks

yeah, put a [$1 1000( and a [line~] before the [osc~]

you probably could make it faster, like [$1 20(, and it still wouldn't be too clicky.

Nice, thanks for your help. Just what I was after....

I sonetimes like to use [lop~ x] (with x between 0.1 and 3) as a way to stop clicks when you have control signals already at the audio rate. It can give a natural sounding 'analog' transition because the slew is a curve rather than a line with a corner. On the other hand, there's some cases where it works badly because the control signal behaviour is now frequency dependent and if you have a very fast envelope it doesn't reach its destination.

Obiwannabe, that is one of the most useful things I've learned from your patches (on the utilitarian level, anyway). It's also a nice way to keep some processing at the message rate to save cpu. Just tack a [sig~] at the end of a chain and send it through [lop~ 3] or something and you've smoothed out the jumps.
