I've recently built a granulation patch (I know, so original!) using

[groove~] and [poly~], that uses a Wacom tablet's X, Y, and pressure

values to control playback position, rate/direction, and amplitude,

respectively. My problem is that, after some use, and under

unspecific conditions (at least, unspecific to my knowledge), the

I'm running about 50 instances of the grain patch. My guess is that,

if it isn't a bug of [groove~], or just my computer getting bogged,

I'm sending my messages to it too quickly or in the wrong order.

Because I figure most people don't use or have a Wacom tablet, I've

included a more-or-less identical patch driven by a mouse rather than

a tablet. If you have a Wacom tablet, you'll need the [wacom] object

http://www.jmcouturier.com/download.html).

haven't been able to crash the mouse version, but I don't think that's

the culprit. Is it possible that the [metro] that's stuffing the

[pack] out of the [wacom]/[mousestate] could cause a crash? I added

that recently so that audio would persist even when the Wacom tablet

wasn't moving, but I also didn't experience any crashes until after I

added it. But then again, I don't understand how it would cause it,
