Hi everyone! I've put together this nice granulator (I know, groundbreaking) that has cute asynchronicity and so on, but I can't solve this persistent issue I'm having with unwanted clicks and pops when playing very short (> 50ms) grains, especially at high rate. Increasing the number of poly~ instances seems to help, but it doesn't look like a permanent fix.

I think what I have to do is to use very short ramps to fade in and out when the same instance of poly~ is played, but I can't wrap my head around the code. I might also be very wrong and made a different mistake along the way. My understanding of poly~ is not what it should. Enabling voice stealing makes the crackling worse.

To save everyone the time to untangle my mess of cables, I'm attaching a simplified version of the synthesizer I'm actually using since it does show the same issues. As you could probably tell my starting point was the rgrano abstraction. Inside the patch there's a preset object that should show you the specific problem I'm having.

I answer myself since I found a solution. Use a kaiser window for the envelope with a very high value, like above 100, sometimes even 5-600. Above 7-800 it crashes Max, but below that there's a wonderful world of gaussian envelopes.
