Hey y'all!

Help me out here?

I'm trying to grab the number that the aftertouch is at at a given interval of time.

Unfortunately, metro against spigot is letting in more than one number. It seems that if I hook up a toggle to the output of metro, the toggle opens the spigot for a length of time that is proportionate (feels like 1/5ish?) to the time that the metro is operating at.

Upon realizing this, I set up a bang and delay to manually open and close the spigot (shown in attachment).

Apparently, this system disables anything but a changing number from moving through the spigot. Consequently, if I am not touching the aftertouch, it does NOT output zero, as it should. Relatedly, if I have the aftertouch fully engaged at 127, it does NOT output 127.

I'm sure there's a better way to do this.

Ladies and gentlemen?

Please help!

I've found that by adding a bang I can get (unreliably) one number sent through.

Can somebody, please, though, show me how to do this properly?!

Thanks so much!

A nice way to sample and hold control numbers is to just feed the number into the right inlet of a [float] object, and bang the left inlet any time you want to grab a new number. There are other ways, but that's what I usually do!

I KNEW there had to be an easier way!

That is so simple!

Thank you so much!!!

No problem, glad it helped!

It actually allowed me to fix other things in my patch that I didn't know were related! I'm glad it helped, too.
