Hi, I was wondering if anyone could explain to me why the Delta~ object is necessary in the phasor-to-midi-sync example in the Max example patches folder. From what I understand it outputs the difference between one input sample and the previous input sample?

Thanks for your info. I could basically do the same thing using 

phasor => -~ 0.5 => edge~. Accomplishes the same thing. right?

No worries. You did a great job explaining - in the end ;)

It was just amusing. Not so much what you wrote (which makes sense, if you read carefully), but the "I should really read my replies before submitting them." 

I could really relate to that because when I came home pretty tired and glanced over your post, I had no clue what you were going on about... Made me laugh - couldn't help but tease a bit.

But seriously, I appreciate you taking the time to reply to something that might not even be of your own interest, or just plain basic, like this one.

> Well, sort of, your method will trigger edge~ in the middle of a phasor~ cycle. If you want it to sync to the beginning of the phasor~'s ramp up to 1(i.e. right when it hits 0) then the example's method is best.

If you want the phasor~ to trigger bangs, then all you really need is a
