Is there an object (or patcher or whatever) that is like line but doesn't skip or drop any numbers?

line-object-that-doesnt-drop-numbers

You can get line to not skip numbers. The trick is to have the time grain, as well as your ramp and destination values match up.

If you set the time grain to 1ms, and then tell line to go from 0 to 100 in 100 ms, it will keep every number.

Of course, if you tell line to go from 0 to 100 in 10 ms, its going to have to drop some numbers because its impossible to count from 0 to 100 in 10 ms at 1ms intervals.

True, but what if your grain needs to be shorter than a ms?

Then set the grain to something shorter than 1.0 ms. The grain input claims to grok floats.

But doing submillisecond stuff in Max (as opposed to MSP) can be pushing your luck.

It does grok floats, but it doesn't work below 1 ms.

Did you try this? Doesn't work for me, a grain of 0.1 ms still seems to

Another approach would be to bang a counter with a metro, but less than

last 1 ms...

1 ms will have the same problem...
