| Infinite and marvelous are the ways to generate pops. We can't diagnose
your particular problem without seeing your .orc and .sco.
Some general suggestions: Never use k-rate variables for anything or set
kr=sr. k-rate for envelope generators such as linseg, expseg, envelopx (or
whatever it's called these days) and balance are especially severe
offenders.
Never try to use true square waves or triangle waves (or anything with
sharp edges). Always use band-limited Fourier approximations (write me
personally if you have no clue what I mean) or higher-order polynomials or
cubic splines.
There are many others, but they're largely case specific.
