Hi,

I have a patch that is using a phasor~ to play an audio file. I like using this because I can reset where the phasor, between 0 and 1, and scroll through the audio file.

The issue is the way I am doing it is causing a lot of distortion anytime I move the playhead of the phasor. I attached a video link so people could hear what I am talking about.

I also am including the patch so you can see what's going on. I guess this is sort of a question of how I would take this idea into a granular level, instead of just playing an audio file.

Thanks, Nick

@nicnut Yes, as the [phasor~] output jumps it could output samples that jump from near 0 to near 1 or vice versa and that will produce clicks.
You could window each grain, or as I did here soft duck the output during the jump.
The effect is the same I think.

See [s smooth] and [r smooth] for the duck.

Hi @whale-av

This is an amazing patch you shared. I think in your application where it's randomly skipping playhead locations it works very well. Since I am kind of scrolling through a patch it didn't seem to work great when I applied the same principles. maybe there isn't really a way to do what I am asking. I will keep messing around with this. ]vline~] is a good idea to duck the volume.
