ramping numbers...
ok, i am quite sure this is a totally stupid problem but i just can't get my head around this:
i have three float parameters (0.-1.) which should influence each other over time in the following way:
1. 0. 0. > 0. 1. 0. > 0. 0. 1. and reverse:
0. 0. 1. > 0. 1. 0. > 1. 0. 0.
they should ramp softly from 0. to 1. and back - for which i use "line". the sum of all three floats needs to be = 1. at any given point.
i attached a patch with my efforts, which is not working (red part).
background: i use a video fader with 3 inputs: image1, transition image, image2. image1 and image2 should fade into each other but always show the transition image in between. i use the fourway mixer of tutorial 43, which works perfectly fine - except i don't manage to give it the proper fading amount parameters.
any help is, as always, greatly appreciated!

i think i figured it out... it seems really complicated though...
just to simplify very slightly, i'd use a reverse-minus operator [!- 1.] instaed of this
but you're probably not going to get much simpler than that. you can always encapsulate it
another thing-- i'd put a [deferlow] object on your outputs if you're doing video transitions to avoid crashing
thanks for your quick reply - if it has to be that big ok, i just thought maybe i am missing some command or something since it seemed like some standard operation to me...
your suggestion works fine!

Would something like this work?
How about this?
BTW, if you really care about not flooding the system, you'd pick [jit.qball] instead of [deferlow], as the former uses a qelem to ensure that the scheduler doesn't get flooded.

Here's yet another way of doing it :)
these all work nicely, thank you all for your help!

... I like using multislider and pattrstorage to do that kind of morph, especially since you can make it exponential.
