Hello everyone,
I am currently working on an explosion patch and I have got the core sound working. I am now trying to give it some interactive parameters so that the user can shape the sound through sliders.
My problem is that I am currently trying to alter the release time of my sound so that it can be shaped from a long explosion to a short, more gun-like shot.
I have linked a copy of my envelope abstraction that is multiplied with the noise generator. As you can see, the inlet is wired to two separate message boxes. One is the {0 1,} and the other is a {o $2} box. The second box with the $2 is the one I am trying to control using the slider above. If I enter any number without the $ sign instead of the $2, the release works fine, but I want to make it so that the release number can be changed by the slider.
I am fairly knew to Pure data so I am sure there is something wrong with how I am going about doing this, but please let me know if you can spot a mistake, or if you have any suggestions on how I can acheive this through a different approach.

Thank you in advance
