i am working on an alarm-clock design project.i want to set the actual and waking up time by using encoders, and display them by using lcd/led phidget.

- how can i manipulate the time in Max/MSP? i check the 'setclock' but could not get a clear idea.

time-clock

Have you looked at the "date" object? It will give you the current date and time.

heres a solution using the shell external

probably the most accurate way to get time, if one of the more fiddley ways to do it.
Hope this is what you were looking for

thanks for reply but i am new to max/msp, i do not understand the code at all.

Just copy it, and go to 'new from clipboard' in Max. It'll open it up as it shoudl look.

P.s to get this solution to work you will need the 'shell external, and put it in the externals folder, with the help in the help folder.

thanks! i really had hard time to find the shell external, but i found it and put it to the external and help folders. but now it gives " error:sfplay`:no open file " what does this mean?

Ok, thats the easy bit, just press the open message above sfplay~ and open any shortish sound file.
