Hi guys,  
my question is how to slide control samples/play outside of the thread?  
i managed to control parameters like amp with sync and set but i can´t slide it that way, oh and it needs to control s in a live\_loop so the changed parameters repeat and i can change them live.  
It´s important that the control s is outside the thread so the time of the live\_loop :möp stays the same  
thanks in advance!!!

Like that:

```ruby
live_loop :möp do
s = sample :loop amen, amp_slide: 1
sleep 3
end

?
sleep1
control s, amp: 0
?

```
