hi, i have an osc~ set to a frequency. i also have an array with a ramp up and ramp down of volume.
how do i use the array to set the amplitude of the osc~ to zero and to maximum and then to zero, basically a fade in, fade out.

here's what the array looks like:

i was thinking i can just put a metronome into [tabread4~ envelope] but for some reason that doesn't seem to work. i'm basically wanting to create amplitude modulation that can be controlled, so a specific amount of time there will be sound out, and the other amount of time, there's silence. so like gapping the audio. but i'm not entirely sure how to do it or how to accomplish that mathematically.

it would be wonderful to be able to sync this to say 1/4 or 1/16 or 1/8 and to modify at will, but i'm really not sure how to do this.

i would be perfectly fine using an array-generator squarewave to do the gapping at specific intervals, but i'm not sure how to create a legit squarewave and how to use that to control what comes into [*~]

@esaruoho For a square wave you can just run a toggle into the right inlet of the [*~] and connect a metro to that toggle, everytime the metro bangs it will flip the toggle. Tabread needs to be read with [phasor~] or [line~] just like you do when you use it for a sampler.

@esaruoho If your array max level is 1 and min level is 0 then you would multiply the "played" array by your [osc~] output using [*~].
So you need to "play" the array at your required speed.
If you want to do that once then you can use [line~] or [vline~]
If you want to do it repeatedly then [phasor~] ......

You will need to know the sample size...... the length of the array.... so that the [phasor~] output (0 to 1) plays the entire array.... as below........
