I am trying to learn this and build a patch that randomly plays selections of a soundfile. Sorry if it looks a bit crude, but that's why I need help. I get glitches and clicks and was told to use 2 groove~ somehow to smooth it out, but not sure how. I also think i need some line objects so the numerical transitions are not so great. Mostly, I want to get rid of the clicks. Any advice on how to improve on this patch in any way would be appreciated.
