How to avoid "zipper noise" when using sliders as control params?

Greetings! As an exercise, I'm experimenting with building some simple channel strip functions in Max. So looking at driving faders and pans and things from sliders.
I keep running into issues with Zipper noise. I understand that this is happening because slider doesn't send output at the sample rate, but only only once per sample block (sample vector). This can create jumps between sample blocks.
I'm familiar with some ways to mitigate this in Pure Data, mostly involving a lopass filter with a low cutoff. I'm wondering what the most idiomatic solution is in Max. Thanks for any input! Below are some examples.
