lao.patchers

A few useful abstractions I've created to help me out in my everyday patching. Some simple and some not-so-simple stuff, just a little something.

Here's a brief description of the contents (more detailed description in the README.maxpatt file)

lao.auto: automates a stream of input.lao.auto2: identical to [lao.auto] but works with two inputs simultaneously (e.g. for use with [pictslider]lao.divbang: outputs a [bang] after X bangs have been receivedlao.hoh: "hit or hold", if you hit a key it changes one toggle; if you hold that key for more than 100ms it shows a different toggle, which shows 1 for as long as that key is pressed and 0 when it's lifted.lao.kkup: a combination of [key] and [keyup], it outputs 1 when a specified key is held down, and 0 when it is releasedlao.mx: mutually-exclusive toggles; cross-attach a lao.mxt object with an argument (e.g. lao.mxt lolz) to a toggle, and any similar instances (and other toggles cross-attached to lao.mxt toggles with the same argument) will be mutually exclusive, even if they are put in subpatchers. the argument/group can be changed through the second inletlao.nipplebang: n-ple bang, it outputs a bang if X bangs have been received within Y millisecondslao.rand: a randomiser with more options, you can define minimum and maximum values, as well as step size (works with floats and negative numbers too)
