Hello,

I have been working with a project in the past few days and wanted to in someway - either set a certain time for a patch to play or use bang to get to a certain number to trigger a patch to play, so I don't have to control it manually. I looked across internet but didn't find any relevant tutorials. wondering if anyone here might have a direction?

Thank you

@junhans You can either set a [delay] to play again after the last time, or use the clock from your computer.... the zexy library has an object [time] that will send the time of day when banged...... every_day_at.zip

if you don't need to play the file at exactly the second required then you can set the metro to say 50,000 so that [time] only outputs the time every 50 seconds. Setting to more than 60,000 risks never playing the file.

[once] will stop repeat bangs until it is reset an hour later.
Check this thread every now and then as there will be other ideas.....

@whale-av Hi David, thank you, this is very informative. I wonder for the one you screenshot, what is the sub-patch for "once" as I don't seem to have one preset one here with my pd. I think this "once" button will resolve all my issues! thank you

@junhans Once is a common little patch which often comes in handy.

@junhans I included it in the zip folder I posted above, and you should keep it in the same folder with the patch.
I hope it helps you...
David.
