Bang is delayed for a certain time..... Can be used to send triggers at specific times
Delay a bang before passing it on.
| Name | Type | Opt | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| delaytime | int float symbol | Sets an initial amount of time to delay a received in the left inlet. This time interval can be either a number which specifies time in milliseconds (e.g. delay 200) or a notevalue (e.g. delay 4nd). Note: While the delay object lets you specify time in any of Max's standard time formats, the attribute argument should be used when specifying time in any other time unit besides milliseconds or notevalues (e.g. ). If there is no argument, the initial time interval is 5 milliseconds. Any argument less than 5 will be set to . If notevalue, ticks, or bars.beats.units are specified for the delay interval, the object will not operate unless the transport is running. |
| bang | In left inlet: A is delayed a certain number of milliseconds before being sent out the outlet. | |
| int | delay-time (milliseconds) [int] |
In right inlet: The number is stored as the number of milliseconds to delay a received in the left inlet. A number received in the right inlet changes the delay time of the next received -- it does not modify the time of a currently being delayed. In left inlet: The number is stored as the number of milliseconds to delay a received in the left inlet. It then automatically sends a bang message to itself to start the delay. |
| float | delay-time (milliseconds) [float] |
In right inlet: The number is stored as the number of milliseconds to delay a received in the left inlet. A number received in the right inlet changes the delay time of the next received -- it does not modify the time of a currently being delayed. In left inlet: The number is stored as the number of milliseconds to delay a received in the left inlet. It then automatically sends a bang message to itself to start the delay. |
| list | input [list] |
In right inlet: A list may be used to specify time in one of the Max time formats. |
| anything | delay-time (milliseconds) [list] |
Same as . |
| clock | setclock-object-name [symbol] |
The word , followed by the name of an existing object, sets the delay object to be controlled by that object rather than by Max’s internal millisecond clock. The word by itself sets the delay object back to using Max’s regular millisecond clock. |
| stop | In left inlet: Stops delay from outputting the it is currently delaying. |
| Name | Type | g/s | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| delaytime | atom | Sets the delay time for the object. Delay time can be specified in any of the time formats used in Max. | |
| quantize | atom | Send output only on the specified time-boundary if appropriate. This is achieved by making internal adjustments to the times used for sending output. The quantization can be specified in the following time formats: bars.beats.units, ticks or note values. If the applicable time is a 'fixed' unit (for example: ms, seconds, hz, samples, etc.) then this attribute will have no effect. |
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| deferlow | Defer the execution of a message (always) |
| pipe | Delay numbers or lists |
| setclock | Control the clock speed of timing objects remotely |
| transport | Control a master clock and report time values. |
