I'm a beginner at Max/MSP. I've worked with smoothing with {$1 50}, but am now working in a particular setting where the smoothing tactics I know, don't seem to work. These glissandi will be re-triggered at different intervals, often before the glissando is played to its end (as in the testpatch here attached).

I thought smoothing was included in the ramp to the line object (500ms to get from 0 to 0.5), but it's not preventing clicked onsets. What am I missing?

the "click" appears when your signal is decreasing from 0.5 to 0 this is where you need to smooth the ramp. You should take a look at the slide~ or rampsmooth~ object to get rid of the click noise.

Hey Jessica,
the "click" appears when your signal is decreasing from 0.5 to 0  this is where you need to smooth the ramp. You should take a look at the slide~ or rampsmooth~ object to get rid of the click noise.

The comma character divides a message box into multiple successive messages, so when you send a message like (0., 1. 500) to the line~ object you are doing the following:

So, when the line object is at a different value than "0." and receives the above message, it will change its value instantly to "0.", resulting in the clicks you hear.

Go to the value "0." immediately (so, no temporal smoothing applied);

Go to the value "1." in "500 ms" (smoothly)

I fixed the immediate problem by smoothing towards the 0. in the message boxes , and am diving into the slide and rampsmooth object for longer term purposes, looking forward..

thank you both!
