hi everyone,

i'm trying to make a patch that moves steadily and continuously along a range of values back and forth from one extreme to another using line~. specifically i want to use this to move a 'panning knob' back and forth between 0.05 and 0.95, and also to move a modulation frequency slider on a simple FM synth back and forth.

any tips on how to do this without running into deep recursion/stack overflow? i've tried using combinations of [select] and [== ] but i keep getting stack overflows. i think i'm just using the wrong combination of control objects but i am sort of stumped. any help would be great thanks!

maelstorm thank you for the example! i see now how controlling line~ with line doesn't make sense

Flipp thanks the print thing shed a lot of light on the situation for me

oops sorry - i uploaded the wrong version. i'm attaching a cleaned up version with comments, hopefully now you can see what i'm talking about. thanks for the response!
