Hi, does anyone know how to avoid digital popping during live playback when selecting parts of a waveform? I have tried zero crossing but this hasn't done anything... if anyone has any tips that would be great.

In your Max application folder, you'll find a folder called "examples" that is, as the name suggests, full of example patches on how to do various things. There's a folder in there called "sequencing-looping" that, in turn, contains a folder called "audio-rate-sequencing-looping". Take a look in that folder and see if the groove-ducking examples aren't of some help to you....

Thanks Gregory, I shall take a look but I did do some work with the groove-ducking stuff and there was a problem creating a ramp as I am controlling the selection with a joystick and if I use the ducking I would have to reset it every time..

I'll investigate anyway - thanks for the tip

Can't seem to find anything helpful :( - having similar problems with I'm trying..

If you post your patch here i'll take a look; meanwhile look at this thread for an excellent use of [sah~] in this context, by timlloyd, alex harker, greg taylor et al

I just gave this a go and didn't quite get there, so did a search :P Here is a thread from a while ago which deals with this issue, the solutions from Volker Bohm are very effective, as long as you don't mind the playback pitch changing slightly when you change loop points.

That would only be a problem if you're using waveform~ in loop mode and constantly adjusting the loop size and start point for some granular-ish effects, or constantly changing loop points some other way.

If you're using groove~ for playback, then I think you'll get the best results by using two groove~ objects and crossfading between them on loop point changes. There are examples of that method in the linked thread.
