Howdy folks,

I've recently built a visualization patch. It's all working the way it should, but there's one detail that I want to change but I do not know how.

The graphic features react to amplitude, but I want them to react in a slightly different way.

As it stands, it flutters instead of moving in a more organic way.

I know the line object smooths it out but I only want it to work like an envelope. When it's going up, it should respond immediately, but when it's going back down again, it should have some kind of release to it, like all visualizations have.

I was thinking of some kind of AD (AR?) envelope, but I don't quite know how to build it into the patch

I attached the file. I mostly need it for the bars that represent the three frequency ranges.

Needless to say I'm not adding in the 300 MB of WAV files it uses, but you know how to change that right?

I'm sure y'all can help me out.

Thanks.

[vline~] will accept a list, so you can grab your amplitude and feed that into it

[$1 0, 0 1000 / - can replace the 1000 with whatever you think is sensible.
