I pasted the schematic of this stutterer device i'm working on below. To get it running just load a sound into the IO object and set it looping. Then activate the stutter toggle to hear what the effect does.

Here's the difficulty i'm having: I have a groove object, and attached to its right outlet is a >~ comparison object. I'm using it to check to see if more than X % of the buffer has been played, and if so, a signal should be sent to turn off an envelope (because only a small part of the buffer should be played for any 'grain').

Sometimes this 'off' signal doesn't get sent when i expect it to and the grain just keeps playing. I'm trying to figure out what's causing this erratic behaviour. And i wondered if any of you guys might have an idea. Is it because important parts of my schematic use control signals when they should be using audio signals for greater accuracy?

I pasted the schematic below. And i've highlighted in red the areas where the trouble happens.

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes a look!

Hi! I've looked at your patch, because I wanted to do what you have done with your patch. I'm not even a beginner in max, and this is quite complicated.

Just a "random" thought after looking your patch (not random, but just a feeling because I don't know much hehe). With the effect on, the problem might be in the [player] patch, between the out of the adsr and the bangs it receives. The bang is constant, even when the grain isn't turned of, so you have more or less a zone to work.

I'm sorry I can't help you, but It would be great if you can solve this. Let us know when that happens, this is a wonderful patch!! Good luck ;)
