I want to have a number that's a certain value ahead of another value when it is altered but falls back in line with the original value after 100ms.

I'm trying to manipulate car acceleration sounds and I noticed that the fmod engine designer works by pushing ahead of the input value and then falling back down after a few ms. I'm trying to achieve the same effect in Max.

I don't have an example patch so I'm struggling to describe what I'm looking for.

With no change in the acceleration input (MIDI data from a wiimote via osculator) I want both values to be equal. When the wiimote is moved I want value 1 to jump a little ahead of value 2 before decreasing back to equal values after a certain duration. I haven't been able to achieve this with the line object yet and I'm not sure why.

[adsr~] is an audio object isn't it? I just want to control the position of a slider being used as a 4-way crossfader.

Do you have an example patch? Wiimote, OSCulator and 4-way crossfader are all fairly inexact terms . . .

Yeah, I'm struggling to express exactly what I'm trying to achieve. It's all part of a monster of a patch that barely works right now, I'll try and extract the essentials to upload.

Do want a dynamic ramp up to a target value, which quickly recedes to another dynamic value less than the target; or what??

I want one value to ramp up to a certain amount ahead of a the input value then return to being equal to the input value after 100ms.

If the input value was static this wouldn't be a problem but the input value is consistently changing and I don't know how to alter the ramp value of [line] dynamically or if that is even possible.

This is still unclear to me; you appear to be talking about two values, but then ask for a value to ramp ahead of itself, which is a paradox, no?

I've twisted myself into knots here. I'm starting to doubt that what I'm trying to do will even achieve what I'm after. I'll have a think about it and come back to it later. Thanks.

On reflection, it sounds as if you may be looking for an acceleration, or whiplash effect on your data. I can do this on 

 values, using velocity and an exponent. Descending values, I cant' get a whiplash going, but HTH:

why try to simulate it? maxmsp is flexible enough to include a real car into the patch.

Dynamic use of the line object.
