Hi I was wandering if anyone can help.

I was wondering if there was an object that can measure the amount of time between initiating a bang twice.

i.e an 'attack' output from a fiddle or bonk object is triggering a bang every time an attack is registered. Is there a way of that generating numbers that measure the frequency of the attacks in seconds or milliseconds.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,
It's not obviously the simplest solution but with [alternate] and [timer]

you can use the attachment I tried.

Hi

Thanks for that. That will work I think.

However, the only problem is that the bang has to be hit twice every time to register the timer. Is there a work around so that you can have the timer kick out numbers after every bang? SO you can have a continuous stream of numbers if the bang is hit to a drum beat for example and the speed of the beat will control a slider.

Thanks for your help

Hmm that's why I put to [timer] objects,
I saw my attachment works only for the first two bangs the way you mention.
For the next bangs, the number box displays every bang, doesn't it?

You could do it with one [timer] like this:

[bng]
|
[t b b]
| |
[timer]

Oops! Yes indeed!

Yes that works!

Thanks for your help.
