is there a way to have the counter object output it's value in an exponential and not linear way?

I am using it with palindrome mode and what I would like it to do is to slow down as it gets to the max value,

and then pick up speed as it heads back to the lowest value.

Is there an efficient way of acheiving this?

and I'm not sure how to apply that to the values from my counter.

but I can't get the examples to work,

[counter] is linear, but pass its output through any scale/map object you want ([expr] for hardcore control, otherwise [scale] with appropriate parameters, or all my friends use [lp.scampf]). That will get you your exponential (or whatever) values.

In principle you can send the resulting value to the right inlet of a [metro] banging your [counter] (this won't stack-overflow, make sure you understand why this is the case). This will work fine while the interval between [metro] bangs is increasing. The way [metro] behaves when intervals are decreasing may not be what you expect.

I also found in the reference for [scale] the [linedrive] object which apparantly does something similar.

Any idea what the differences are?
