during some fiddling about with the cloudbank resynthesis protoype I found a nice playable spectra file that Ive made.I nailed down the necessary formalities needed for kbd playing, !keydown, !KeyPitch etc. the only thing that is negating me my idea is this : the file loops kind of weird, preventing me to effectively use it as a "played instrument". Id like to do continuus control over playback index, via mod wheel, or pitch wheel or something like that.Or it can be a continuous function that randomly plays through the index, so that it never stops at the end of the file, but also doesnt jump from say 2.0 second to 0.3 second discretely.Ive tried different control functions in FunctionGenerator, but most of them are too rigid.
Bottom line, instead of generic looping, I want to utilize a continuous fucntion (or via manual control) that sweeps through playback index of a desired spectra, bouncing between start and end points, and never stops.

!ModulationWheel * 2 - 1

would you give you a range of -1 to 1 (if your Mod wheel has a range of 0 to 1).

1 s random smooth: 1 s

would smoothly move from one random position to the next.
