ok so I'm trying sending a signal that is always 1. except has downwards spikes to control the upper limit of pong~ and max is just not liking any method that I try. It seems as thought when I subtract spikes from a signal it works only when I subtract it from a value less than half the amplitude of the signal. This is completely baffling me I am dead out of ideas.

also, could someone tell me how to do the compressed text for patches? thanks

rediculous-signal-subtraction-issue

not sure about the signal problem, that is strange. Maybe switch the subtraction operands? Not quite sure what it is you're looking for. I added some numbers~ to see what was going on, and switched the operands. It's true, it doesn't seem to be behaving how I thought it would...

I think actually the problem is just a display / scope~ issue - if you connect a capture~ to the output of the [!-~ 1] (speed the rect up to something fairly high as well like 1000) you can see that the values coming from there are correct, it's just that the scope is not displaying them as you'd expect.

ok I looked at caputre and it is true that the values seem to be straight. What's wierd though is that with scope~ you can actually see the point where things (visually) stop working. I guess it's nthing
