New to Max. I am trying to create a patch for use in a live performance with simple on/off hardware input. What I'm to accomplish is to have a square wave always on that is manipulated in frequency by mouse clicks. As long as the mouse button state is 1, the frequency should rise. As soon as it is released, the frequency should decrease at the same rate. I've already set up the sound wave and managed to increase frequency using a scaled clocker, but can't figure out how to decrease it. Any ideas as to what is the best way to go about this? Thanks!

Plug the output of the mouse (1 or 0) into the object. You can then plug one output into increase frequency and one output into decrease frequency.

Use gswitch.

Here's one quick-and-dirty solution. (Beware, this patch will make an annoying square wave sound when you open it.)
