Here's a problem that has stumped me and my colleagues....

using a linear position sensor i wish to create trigger regions: if value is in one range (attains a low maximum), trigger a discrete bang, if value is in another range (achieves a higher or lower maximum) then trigger a different bang (without triggering the other); the problem is that the value initializes at zero and then ramps to its maximum, passing other ranges on the way. Objects such as 'past', 'peak' and 'maximum' have all been tried without success, in the attached patch i've got some success with 'change' and 'gate' objects....please take a look and offer suggestions; the patch is self-explanatory and annotated

The split object should do what you need.

Using the delay object as a retriggerable one-shot:

This solution allows both jitter and repeated values, yet still switches 

regions properly. It uses hysteresis ( I think!) and it's easily 

scalable, zonewise. Not as slick and clever as what Chris posted, but a

bit more useful for me, at least.

Here's an abstraction, which I call "flatline," that I use to do some fairly heavy handed filtering on jittery control sources. It uses a combination of averaging, and windowing to try to keep the data stable.

discrete triggers from ramping values?
