I'm new to the forum and a beginner in Max; using MaxForLive I am trying to create a kick generator patch.

It is still quite a mess and far from the final result, however my main focus now is trying to get rid of the clicks that I got on every note.

I tried to browse the forum for old similar post but could not find anything that fixes the problem.

I am of course aware that most likely the problem comes from error I did in the patch, but as I said I am still a noob in Max, and that's why I m searching for your help.

I tried to slower the envelopes times but this does not solve the problem, as you can see if you scroll through the presets the clicks are still there even with very long attacks and decays. I also tried to reset the phase of the cycle at every hit but with no success again.

Thank you very much in advance for your attention and your time!

Here is the patch, I apologize if is not in the correct format but I am not sure about how to post it.

I'll share my little trick when working with [function]:

- use [zl nth 2 N] to replace the 2nd element in the output list (zero) with a small value N

Now when you bang the function you'll be ramping to the first value in your function rather than jumping straight to it, which is what's likely causing the clicks. This is basically an attack time.

- set it's Output Mode to "list"

Here's another possible way to get rid of some of the clickyness
