Some hints: For granular synthesis you definitely want to avoid line~ and use vline~ instead. Alternative approaches could be made with phasor~ and samphold~. The Vosim patch I posted recently is also a granular technique. In Vosim, the waveform is a squared sin, the envelope is a exponentiall falling step function for each sin^2 peak, but you could change that of course to produce different waveforms and envelopes, just replace the cos~ stuff with tabread4~s and scale the phasors accordingly. (tabread4~ would be faster in your patch as a replacmenent for expr~, too) And yes, you need many copies of each, so something like [polypoly~] or [nqpoly4] will help.
