Why can't I use vmax: with a pasted Sound?

Question

If I use an STGC with an LFO in its Value field why can't I use vmax: on the output of the LFO like this:

 

 

Thanks for your answer Cristian that would get round this issue. I'm still intrigued about why vmax: or max: don't work with pasted Sounds and are there other CapyTalk messages that work with HotValues but not pasted Sounds?

as well as derivative, ceilling, asRightPan, accumulateIf:, of:....

Is it just an issue with max: and vmax:?

!MinValue vmax: [LFO] L

Thanks for finding this!

Answer 2

you could do it at Sample Rate with the Maximum prototype, your LFO and a CapyTalkToSound

like this

Thanks! I can see how that would work.

I'm still intrigued about what's special with max: or vmax:
