I am quite new to Max and I would like to make a theremin based on an accelerometer that I have; More specifically a Myo armband accelerometer. So what I want is to be able to gradually change a value by a fixed amount over time, eg. increase value x by 0.5 per 10 milliseconds. Actually almost exactly as the gas pedal in the car works, i.e. 50 km/h, but in my case I want to change a float by say 0.5 /ms. So that I can get a smooth change in pitch from my theremin.

If you are looking for a timed ramp, check out the [line] object.

Kind regards

Allright, thanks for your answer Len; I am going to check out the line object. I just came up with a better explanation of my problem so I am going to edit the question now.

line object helped me a charm, thanks Len

Linearly change value over time?
