I'm finding it hard using stutter~ to capture information into the buffer in time and I was wondering if there was an alternative to stutter~ out there that someone knows of?

If it has inbuilt functions for crescendos/decrescendos that would be the icing on the cake.

Can someone recommend an object that I can use instead of stutter~ to achieve the same thing?
