[maxmsp] Accelerating and decelerating clicks with delays

Hi guys,

I'm currently trying to implement acceleration and deceleration in my patch and was wondering if anyone had any bright ideas or indeed a much more efficient way of achieving this.

Currently I've got a convoluted setup involving exponential scales but unfortunately I cannot accelerate and decelerate  "on the fly"
with this setup?!

Any useful suggestions are welcome:
