1 repeatingRamp: 6 s

is there a way to make the ramp jump in quantized bits instead of one smooth linear flow. fake eg: 1 repeatingRamp: 6s smooth: 0.5 s

perhaps there is a way to do this?

let me try and re-explain my goal.

lets say i have a sample that is 2 seconds long, and i want the volume of that sample to move smoothly up. i just use this expression in the volume field ( 1 repeatingRamp: 2 s )

so instead of having the volume just fade smoothly up, i would like to have an expression step and hold the volume as it moves up according to a defined grid.

for instance, if the sample was 2 seconds and the defined grid was 4. 4 being the number of sections in the sample, then the volume over time look like:

Time -- Volume
---------------
0.0 s -- 0.0
0.5 s -- 0.25
1.0 s -- 0.5
1.5 s -- 0.75

instead of having smooth transitions in volume from each setting, they would hold until the next interval of 4 was reached.

It will make a stair-step out of a ramp.

thanks.

i'll try this mutation of your solution tonight.
-----------------------------
!Grid = 4
!Duration = 2 s

((1 bpm: (60 / !Duration) * !Grid) countTriggersMod: (!Grid + 1)) / !Grid

with a modification to the countTriggersMod value, your expression works perfectly!

-----------------------------
!Grid = 4
!Duration = 2 s

((1 bpm: (60 / !Duration) * !Grid) countTriggersMod: !Grid) / !Grid

-----------------------------

thanks!
