If I have a linear breakpoint envelope shape that I would like to run in a loop, what is the best way to do this?

It's straightforward to produce the shape once with vline~ -- somewhat less straightforward with line and line~ but OK.

What I really miss is the right-hand "bang" outlet that these objects have in Max. Sure, I can do a [t b b] and put one of the bangs into a [delay] matching the time until the next repeat, but... it's a lot easier if the ramp generator just tells me when it's finished.

You can also write your envelope in a table and loop it with [phasor~].

OK, thanks. So I didn't really overlook anything

You can also use the threshold~ object to get a bang to restart your envelope whenever needed.

if you're into externals, see else/envgen~ it has a second outlet that tells you when it starts and finishes

you can also use else/function~ to loop with a phasor~
