InputOutputCharacteristic: Ignore Spline Interpolation on subsequent 1s at the end

Hi there,

When I use this array for example

-1.0 -0.5 0.0 0.5 1.0 1 1 1

on both the InValues and the OutValues and Smoothing gets greater than 0.5 I get square wave kind of shapes. I guess that's because the spline interpolation doesn't know what to do with the subsequent 1s. I create my arrays algorithmically and don't see a way to automatically shorten them to the first 1 while the Sound is playing. Why isn't the InputOutputCharacteristic ignoring equal subsequent values? Is there a way to change the size of the array while the Sound is playing?

Thanks!

Try setting your output values to half of what the input values are (you can subsequently scale the signal back up).  Spline interpolation can go outside the range of -1,1.  Suspect that is the source of your "square-wave-like" waveforms — it is clipping.

I tried
-0.5 0.0 0.5 0.5 0.5
and have the same problem. the square-wave-like waveform doesn't reach -1,1. I'm using the "InputOutputCharacteristic Timbre Waveshaper" prototype BTW

Not sure this is related, but I cannot manage to have InputOutputCharacteristic output a zero end of ramp. I will always get a one sample 1 value when the ramp drops.
