I am a new max user & am trying to figure out how to use a function envelope to control the pitch of a synthesizer over a period of time.

I would like to have a sine wave play for 30 seconds, and scan through the function from left to right within that 30 second time period, and spit out the Y coordinates that I have designated on the graph to control the pitch of the sine wave.

In the past I've used the matrix to designate choppy pitch changes over a longer period of time, using the metro to cycle forward through the matrix at blunt intervals - but am now trying to accomplish a similar thing but with one continuous synth and smooth transitions in pitch.

How might I go about do this? Is this possible using the function object and a simple sine wave?

a basic model of a pitch envelope would have 

- a range of -1 to 1 (f.e. in the function object)

- followed by a multiplication for the range/modulation intensity

- finally you do mtof (something you have to do for the note number anyway)
