you can set it up as you work. you have to use message boxes with loadbangs. and have it save your array etc. each position where you need a saved number you need to get it prepared to save . it doesnt really have a full save system.

look at "make note" you connect makenote to noteout
. also, note out doesnt send to note in.

this is a first try at getting the aim to stay pointed if you release the joystick

@willblackhurst " snaphot " never makes any sense to anybody trying to get an accurate number. because there isnt really a number to look at somehow. so whats going on between an array list - and snapshot, why doesnt it just use the array numbers? or give you exact numbers at exact times etc etc.

I heard you wouldnt need tilda then . because all you would do is read the numbers as usual. and that its because your computer was never fast enough to do it so theyve put a ramming mechanism that just shoves the array through at a constant rate.

how do they work? I dont really know.

@willblackhurst tilda is like a wave on top thats from somewhere in your computer/voltage. so it needs a matching system with the tilda voltage syncronized I guess.

so if you print it out , it doesnt make a smooth list of numbers? if youre using line tilda~
it needs to be multiplied with a tilda multiplier ~ Ive seen that I can hook a regular multiply into my volume fader line for scaling the output and then I get a slight distortion. so then I switched to multiply tilda and its better. otherwise you should do the grain number. and test different combinations .

I sorted out "hid"/object so it might work easier now I havnt seen it working before.
this was with a xbox/ looking controler. I got for 10 bucks.
