Hi there.

How can i receive an instant bang or value as soon as a signal comes out of a cycle~ or (*~ 0.2) object for example?

I tried meter~ to a .float and a bang; but meter samples every 10ms

I think peakamp~ goes down to 1 ms= 44.1 samples (at 44.1khz)

But can I get a value from the first sample to exit an audio out?

thanks

In short, no.

edge~, or something like it, might be your best bet, but the max scheduler is simply not sample-accurate. If you need that kind of temporal accuracy then you should stay in the signal domain.

Are you looking for the presence of signal or are you looking for a value or range of values?

If it’s the former, use adstatus to see if audio processing is on.

hi,

Thanks it was just to see when a signal came out of a port asap. I shall be trying out edge~ later tonight.
