Howdy!

I built this kind of basic GEM patch where the pixels are compared to each other and triggered a synth with it (every time pix_blob is above 0.02). As I don't want to simply switch it off I made the following setup:

[bang]
|
[pack 0 200]
|
[line] [osc~ 400]
| |
[*~ ]

I hope that's understandable.
The terrible thing is, that every time the ramp falls down, it gives me awful tiny click noises. I think due to the fact, that the processed audio is operated on so often (line gives an ouput of x.xxx) in so little time. I attached a sound file to let you listen.

Is there any way more elegant than simply turning up the ramp time?
Thanks!

Use [line~] instead. [line] is message rate and only updates its output every so often (less than the sample rate). This is creating discontinuities in the level, which is what's causing the clicks. [line~] produces a smooth audio rate ramp that is updated sample by sample (so to speak), and so there are no discontinuities.

Hey super, thanks a lot!!!
