speedlimit and matrices

Julien Bayle's icon

Hi there,
[speedlimit] limits the speed of message throughput.

so, am I right by saying we can use it for slowing down the frequency of a matrix output to another part of my patch which includes some UI stuff and which doesn't require high frequency update ?

asking that just in case I'm totally wrong...

hi tobiasros and thank for your interest.
does it equal [speedlimit @defer 1] ?

"The speedlim object unfortunately places messages back in the scheduler for execution, and thus may result in a crash when used to temporally downsample streams of Jitter matrices if Overdrive is turned on. The qlim object is an interrupt safe replacement for this and other tasks."

gorgeous !
finally, I had a good idea to ask that even if I thought my question would be a bit stupid (eh.. maybe it is :p)
