What's wrong with this ? (very simple help)

Hey,
i am currently trying, as a practice, to create several drum sounds abstractions. Here is a kick as a start. I want to add a quick fade out but it produces a click instead. I guess something is wrong with my understanding of line~, or with events order. (i never really worked with msp)
if someone would mind taking a quick look, i'd appreciate !
- Oct 07 2013 | 2:32 pmHi your click resulted from the instantaneous leap to 1. So, I changed the message to (1. 5. 0. $1), and also the [prepend set] to allow variation of this value. I like the way you're generating the kick pitch envelope, using curve~ and cycle~ :)Brendan
- Oct 07 2013 | 2:43 pmThanks. i don't really get it. My wish is to apply the fade out after a certain time, which explains the delay i was using. Also could you explain what's the meaning of 1. 5. 0. $1 in the line~ ?
- Oct 07 2013 | 2:47 pmok i get it, very fast fade in (5ms) and then goes to 0 in the defined time lapse. I still find it weird and this doesn't fit with the idea of delaying the fade out...
- Oct 07 2013 | 5:31 pmHi you can see in my suggested solution that there is no need for a [delay] object; the event order is:1. open the amplitude envelope 2. bang the kick sound 3. release time changed on next tick.If you want a variation on that algorithm - for example disconnecting the pitch release from the amplitude release - then try this:I couldn't resist adding a beater-head click and the usual resonant filter and mild clipping :)Brendan
- Oct 07 2013 | 6:48 pmThank you ! it's sounds quite cool. But don't get me wrong, your amplitude envelope is during the whole sound, not only in a decay phase. Im not sure it's noticeable, but my goal was to make a fade out only in the end of the kick. I'll sort it out.
