Ok, I probably should be phrasing this better, but here it goes..

From what I have observed, control signals seem to be sent by the millisecond even if you only bang or update a parameter once, I assume this is because PD needs to be constantly updated.

How does one go about sending only ONE message, for example, sending a 1 so that PD reads it as 1, 0 , 0, 0, 0 etc?

I have tried sending a message of 1, 0 , however, it seems to register as nothing...

Maybe I haven´t expressed myself well enough, do ask for clarification..

Thanks, hope all are enjoying their summer!!!

@lovelovevideo
???
But you want a continuous string of zero's except when a 1 is sent........ so.........
David.

or do you just want the value outputted to return to zero after the "1"......

THANKSSS
@whale-av (edit:forgot to tag you)
I thought i wanted the value outputted to return to zero, however, it didnt seem to work as expected...

the continuous string of zeros approach is working..

I have several reasons why I need this, one of which is to send a message to "ktrigger" using a csound module....it needs to be triggered one at a time, as if it were a button.
