Solved playing a second note later in on note with wait

Hi!

I'd like to call two play_note functions where the second note is played a little later. I've tried to use wait() between the calls but the second note is not played at all when I release the key on the keyboard before the wait cycle has finished. I'd like to play the second note regardless of the duration of the key being held down ... possible?

Code:

on note

    ignore_event( $EVENT_ID )
    play_note(12, $EVENT_VELOCITY, 0, 1000000)

    wait(500000)
    play_note( $EVENT_NOTE, $EVENT_VELOCITY, 0, -1 )

end on

 

just change the code to:

Code:

on note

    ignore_event( $EVENT_ID )
    play_note(12, $EVENT_VELOCITY, 0, 1000000)

    wait(500000)
    play_note( $EVENT_NOTE, $EVENT_VELOCITY, 0, 0 )  {-1 changed to 0. -1 means, that releasing the key stops the sample}

end on

If the sample is looped that would play the second note forever.

 

What would be the right design pattern if the note is looped?

 

I guess doing the same wait in release callback then note_off() on that second play_note()?

 

ah yeah right forgot to mention that, thanks.

For example change 0 to desired length, or something like my_id := play_note(...) and then wait and note_off(my_id) in release callback..

 

Thank you soyfabi and ED for pushing me in the right direction!!
