Issue Combining Static and Oscillating Channels

Beginners

I’m trying to combine two channels:

One static channel that I manually adjust.
One oscillating channel (like an LFO).

The goal is that when I change the static channel, the oscillating channel should move up while still oscillating.

However, I’m running into an issue:

  1. When I increase the static channel, the oscillating signal initially behaves as expected.
  2. Then, I get a period of strange, irregular “squiggly lines” instead of a smooth transition.
  3. After that, the signal stabilizes and behaves normally again.

I’ve tried using a Math CHOP for addition (in one case) and multiplication (in another), but it seems like the static channel change is processed first, and only after that does the oscillating channel respond.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Could it be related to sample rates, cooking order, or some kind of lag in processing? I’d appreciate any insights or solutions!

I think you need to provide a little more context, as at its core what you’re describing should be very straightforward.

Are the images you are showing trails of your channel values? Try sharing a file if you can. My guess is your combating a difference between timesliced and non-timesliced channels and multisample channels perhaps, but hard to tell without knowing your larger use case. Are the channels multi-sample to begin with? That can add some complexity, but usually this sort of thing is done with single sample data.

Here is a super basic file showing what i assume you’re trying to do. Please share a file of yours for more help
