I'm trying to get some interesting sounds out of the SimpleFM~ object and as much fun it may be I can't seem to work out why I have this horrible clicking sound plaguing what I'm trying to achieve.

how-do-i-avoid-unwanted-sounds-with-the-simplefm-object

you have clicks because the domain of your amplitude envelope is longer then your metronome speed.

just add another amplitude envelope for your output whith its domain linked to your metronome speed, or just link your already existing amplitude envelope's domain to your metronome...

That seems to do the trick, thank you very much. If anyone has any ideas for filtering FM then I'm all ears. So for I have the lores~ and degrade~ objects in combination which sound alright but not exciting enough for my liking.

How do I avoid unwanted sounds with the SimpleFM~ object.
