Hello, I am trying to build a granular synthesis engine and I am have some difficulties. I am use the grain.phase~ external from the Nathan Wolek's granular toolkit. I am trying to manipulate the output of a phasor~ object so the I can maintain it's frequency, while changing the length of its slope. This will allow me to change the length of the grain, while maintain a constant frequency of grains per second. I believe there are two problem's with how I am approaching it: The first is that the grain.phase~ object will continue to produce a sound even if it is sent a signal with a value of 0. The second problem comes from how I am changing the phasor~ signal. First I clip the signal, the multiple it by the reciprocal of the amount I clip it. (for example, I clip it by .5, then multiply by 2) This gives me a slope a slope of exactly have the frequency of the phasor object. Then I apply a !=~ 1. object to the signal, so that it will go back down to 0. But i think the last step causes a problem because I want the signal to hit 1. first and then go back to zero. I hope that the above makes sense, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!

I have included the patch with grain.phase~ and the files that are sent to the necessary buffers.

oops, it appears my attachment is too big, here is the patch, without the files for the buffers, or the external. 

Try using pong~ in fold mode; it sounds like it will do what you're trying to do.

Thanks. Never used Pong~, it seems like a useful object, among many others I am most probably unaware of! Although there was still the problem with grain.phase~ always sampling part of the buffer even when a 0 signal value is sent to it. I swapped it for wave~ and things are sounding the way I want.
