Hm, I cannot help with pointing you to an object that might do what
you want, because I don't know any, but according to the MSP-reference
I have here, rampsmooth~ in Max also doesn't accept signals for
setting ramp times. What object are you using then in your patch,
maybe it's something different? 

Generally you may also use a simple [phasor~] to do some kinds of
granular synthesis. You can change it's frequency, then it will ramp
faster. But of course it will restart everytime it has reached 1, and
you can only set the phase of the phasor with messages. 

Another useful object can be [vline~]. It is message based, but can be
started in the middle of a block as well, and you still cannot change
the ramp time with signals.

Ciao
