Smooth transition between two numbers
Hi there guys,
I've been thinking about this for a while, but is there any simple way to to transition between two numbers smoothly in a certain amount of time?
I know that this could be done with the line object, yet, I'm working on a M4L device, where the toggle has an initial value and that makes things complicated.
It controls an UI object and every single time I load up the device, there is an UI movement...
togge is anyway on/off, what do you want to smooth there ?
maybe you want a delay for initial value ?
then remove initial value and use loadbang with delay.
The toggle controls the width of the device.
If zero, the width it (let's say) 150 pixels, if 1 then it is 300.
With line, I'm able to transition 150 to 300 in 200 ms, which looks amazing, yet, since the toggle has an INIT value (0), every timeI open the M4L device, the UI jumps from 300 to 150, since the paramtering of the LINE object.
I may just don't know enough about it...
you need to initialise the width as first, I mean to decide
if it is 150 or 300 when device gets loaded fresh.
then treat that toggle.
Do you store it's value in the live set or not ?
if yes, then you will allways have missmatch when loading device,
recalling width state, with or without that toggle.
toggle itself is not a problem
Yes, the mismatch was problem.
Actually, I've read through again the line objects manual, and for future users, the solution is super simple.
If you want to smoothly transition between two numbers with the toggle, you can just send the $1 200 parameters to the line object and it works as it should!
yes, line needs no from - to , 2 values are enough.
but you can initialise it with default value, like 300.
Hey, encoder audio
I'm a complete newbie, but today I was faced with the same task, and here's what I came up with.
Perhaps you will find this useful.
P.S. I don't know how to insert patches, so here's the compressed code.

problem with that is that zl.stream 2 needs 2 values to output anything.
You will allways miss 1st received value.
which means that you have to provide the first value at initialisation - and to do so, have to choose which value will make the most sense.
while you are on it, you can then also add a "reset" function which reinitialises the process when needed.
