I've used vvvv in the past, and had a lot of fun with the 

 node. Is there a Max object comparable to its smoothness?

Being somewhat of a beginner, I usually smooth with line objects and get some weird behavior from it (ramp slowing down or glitching)

line is just fine to use, but it depends how messages to line get sent, grain size etc etc

So if You are getting glitches or weird behaviour, it has to do with that.

From the patch You provided, one can't tell what is going on, only that

pack object updates output to line when it receives destination value ....

You have to provide more info to troubleshoot this.

Try pressing space to move the slider, and press agan when it went halfway, then you'll see it slow down

testing line depending of the Max sheduler, not frame(jitter) or sample(MSP). Strange thing in the middle of its range. Linearity ? What do i forget ? 

it will ramp from last value to 1. in 1000 ms.

If line object's last output value is 0., then it will go to

If you interrupt the ramp in the middle, or any other position,

then it counts slower, because 0 ->1 , is more distance then for example

So if the speed of moving slider is what You are after,

You have to make totaly different calculation.

AND using float ramp to do that is not really easy.

With speed I mean if You want the slider to make so many steps per ms,

independent of how many steps the ramp has.

Line has default time grain of 20 ms, minimal value is 1 ms.

Line accepts up to 4 values, like start value, destination time time grain

This is just normal line behaviour.
If You send a message 1. 1000 to line
it will ramp from last value to 1. in 1000 ms.
If line object's last output value is 0., then it will go to
value of 1. in 1000 ms time.
If you interrupt the ramp in the middle, or any other position,
then it counts slower, because 0 ->1 , is more distance then for example
0.5 -> 1.

Yesss ! My answer before the coffee of the morning: the time to line must be updated to the new value of the metro... Elementary, Mr W....

an object like damper
