I think I saw it used just to fade in and out on a sine tone.

It'll have more to do with how large the increment is, and what an increment
means psychoacoustically. If you ramp over the range of a piano in pitch over a
second, incrementing every 64 samples, each increment will be about 12.5¢,
which is likely to be audible. Or if you ramped from 20hz to 20khz in
frequency, you'd be adding some 28hz per increment, which is a lot of pitch at
the low end.Doesn't the audibility of zipper noise depend on the duration of
the ramp?
I seem to remember some Supercollider tutorials that used Line.kr witha
duration of a second or so, and I don't remember hearing zipper noise.
(Alsomade a little Pd demo using [bang~] and a counter, but I don't know what
Idid with it.)

You'll get zipper noise with the samphold per block approach.Cost to
dereference a struct member is probably a little more than just using or
getting a value. It's possible it'll be cached, though.On Oct 2, 2015 5:26 PM,

There are probably a lot more ways to implement ramps. For example, youcould
increment only at block boundaries and just repeat that value for therest of
the block. That would looks a lot like Supercollider's "kr" ugens. (Iactually
thought that's how [line~] worked until I looked at the code.)
Btw-- does it cost anything significant to dereference x->x_inc inside thewhile
loop of line_tilde_perform? Or is the compiler able to somehowoptimize that?

Hi, me again.
Thanks for the discussion. It has really opened my eyes.
So, i got my naive c++ implementation of line~ basically working.
And of course, just running a for loop incrementing by ticks, i run into the
exact precision error that this block quantizing seems to avoid. My line from
0 to 100 over 44100 samples only gets to 99.93
So, i also need to add something like pd's block quantization to make sure my
line goes all the way to the specified value.
My questions then are 2:
Is pd's method the way i should do it? Or is there a better alternative?
And, if i do it the pd way, how does that work? Does the increment get updated
every block? Or is it just the last block that is stretched?
