Hi, does anyone have a large (perhaps 4" x 6") stopwatch to share with me? I desperately need one for an extra monitor, so that the musicians can synch with the events in my patch. I can't figure out how to make the font in mine larger than 18pt...

thanks. i'm just a hack, when it comes to the technology...will post again next time it's important. guess i should work with someone who really knows what they're doing. i'm just an analogue composer! cheers.

One point with all the (creative) examples posted here: they all use metro (or clocker, which amounts to the same thing).

Inside a patch that is pushing the CPU really hard, the scheduler may end up dropping metro bangs, resulting in a cumulative lack of precision. I worked with Kasper on a patch where a metro-based time display lost several minutes over the course of a 45-minute performance.

You can get a more reliable long-term clock by banging [date]. You still use a metro. By banging [date] instead of [counter], your display will remain accurate even if metro misses a few beats.

I can dig up the patch I wrote for Kasper (I think) if this is an issue. But if the metro/counter combo is working for you, then use that.

audio (you have to have the dac on):

kronoLCD~ is the size of the display)

Thanks for posting, Kasper! I couldn't find the current version when I looked yesterday.

Also most of it is Kasper's work. All I did was tweak it to use phasor~ instead of metro. Looking at it now I can think of a couple of other tweaks, but it should be quite workable as is.
