I have a patch that should revert to an "attract mode" after a given period of inactivity.

I've tried using a clocker and an (> ), but it doesn't seem to be working. The comparison always goes true.

timeout-after-inactivity

Nevermind, I was not using the output of (> ) properly, fixed now.

However, if there is a better way, would appreciate hearing of it. Mayb I can just feed the timeout interval directly to the clocker.

For this purpose, I would just use a [pipe 10000].

But it's possible that it would be better to use something else, depending on your "inactivity" detection scheme.

I like to use the delay object for this. Every time something happens, send a bang (or a delay time) to the delay object. As long as those things keep happening, they'll keep resetting the delay and it won't output anything; but if nothing happens to retrigger it, delay will send out a bang after the specified amount of time.

timeout after inactivity?
