Control one multi slider with another multi slider – stack overflow error – MaxMSP Forum

Hi there,

You’re on to something, I think.

Basically, the patch consists of two halves – a bank of sine oscillators, and a microtonal sampler.

The idea is to fade between the two sounds – the sines, and whatever sample I have loaded.

To do this, I’m applying a subtraction object to drop one multi slider, while another is boosted.

This was initially unidirectional, so I could have continuous bangs going to the second multi slider to get continuous output.

However, this could course cause sudden jumps in with respect to the levels of the second bank of sliders, which I didn’t want. So basically, I’ve used a line object for every value coming out of the first bank of sliders to create a delay in the changes in bank 2.

To do this, the ‘new’ values in the second bank become the destination value for a line object controlled by the first bank (so ‘old value to new value in 500 ms’).

The feedback loop must be coming from the recursion created by sending values from bank 2 to the line logic. Is there a handy way to stop this and keep continuous output?
