Digital Music Programming II: floatmetro
This lab demonstrates how to manage the creating, using and destroying of
clock variables which are used to schedule events in the futures.
In particular, read pages 53-56 in the manual Writing External
Objects for Max 4.0 and MSP 2.0 by David Zicarelli.
Important clock functions:
- clock_new(MyObject *mo, method FutureAction);
- A function which is called when first creating your object
which will setup the clock and associate a function to call
when the clock is triggered.
- clock_unset(void* clock);
- A function which removed the event controlled by the clock and
prevents it from being run.
- clock_fdelay(MyObject *mo, float duration)
- Indicates to run the clock's action function after
duration milliseconds.
- clock_delay(MyObject *mo, long duration)
- Indicates to run the clock's action function after
duration milliseconds.
- clock_free(MyObject *mo);
- Used in the object destroying function as specified in the
setup function.
