As Dan states, the Timelines patch is naturally suited to this. That said, I tend to use range patches and interpolations to achieve this, because more often than not, I'm already working with an interpolation patch and have the basic timing I want established with the interpolation, when I draw the conclusion that I want a value to be reigned in for some length of time. By setting an interpolate to have a very wider range of values than a connected range patch, one can achieve the effect of values "holding" for a given length of time, while smoothly ramping while inside of the value limits of the range patch. See the attachment. Best, George Toledo
