Objects that Support Time Values

This is a list of Max and MSP objects that support Max time value syntax.


Max Objects

delay

delay time can be fixed or tempo-relative
quantization is tempo-relative

makenote

duration can be fixed or tempo-relative (must be single-valued)

metro, clocker, qmetro

interval can be fixed or tempo-relative
quantization is tempo-relative
autostarttime is tempo-relative (position)

speedlim

interval can be fixed or tempo-relative
quantization is tempo-relative

pipe

delay time can be fixed or tempo-relative (must be single-valued)

timepoint

trigger is tempo-relative (position)

timer

output can be in ticks

translate

converts from any fixed or relative time value to any other fixed or relative time value


MSP Objects

curve~, line~

envelope times can be single valued fixed or tempo-relative

delay~

delay time (normally in samples) can be fixed or tempo-relative

phasor~

interval (inverse of frequency) can be tempo-relative

adsr~

envelope times can be fixed or tempo-relative

snapshot~

auto-reporting interval can be fixed or tempo-relative

vst~

no time-based values accepted, but listed here because it synchronizes plug-in with transport
