Reaktor 'Bang' (MaxMsp) Equivalent

Noobie alert

I've had a search of the boards, but I’m wondering if anyone knows how to 'Bang' (single trigger) and object (without the use of a button etc)?

I wanting to trigger the 'Tapedeck' when the 'Song Pos' goes over 200, but I’m struggling with the initial trigger (or MaxMsp, 'Bang') that the 'Tapedeck' needs.

Cheers

 

welcome to the forum


so you are saying when the Song Pos is greater than 200 you need a value of 1 being sent as a Trigger? the Compare= might help with this, have a look

fwiw, i do enclose kid sputnik's Init Bang but i am sure that is not quite what you mean, but you might find it useful for other things.

Yeah, the Tapedeck requires a 'Bang' (Trigger value of 1 followed by 0 - eg: Similar to a button set to trigger). I'm using a Compare> already, but it sends a continuous value of 1 (obviously) and this causes the Tapedeck to become stuck until you press Stop button. So I’m after that something that'll take the output from the Compare (ie: 1) and then send a trigger value (1 then 0) to the Tapedeck - but I’ve yet to find anything that'll do it

I’ve already got the ‘Init Bang’ macro, using it already in a few ensembles lol

 

what about using the Hold Module (Event Processing)? attach a Constant
to the H input for how long you want to keep the value of 1 before it reverts to 0.

Yup, was one of the first things i've tried - tried different values of hold time between 0-100ms, it just causes the Tapedeck to 'get stuck'.

Although i've come up with a solution and that's to use the IC Send from the Compare> and make an internal connection to a Button (connected the Play input on the Tapedeck) set to 'Trigger' mode. Seems to work apart from being a little bodged perhaps - just a little suprised that there isn't an object that sends a trigger/bang output. Then again perhaps that's because i'm used to it coming from MaxMsp.

Cheers for the all the help though

 

I found another way to make a trigger for the tapedeck:

It's a H envelope which has a hold time that is determined by the length of the audio loaded in the tapedeck.

Not fully tested though...let me know if this does the trick for you

 

Look at the picture. Hope that helps.

 

This may not work for you if you're looking for a very precise off-time for the tapedeck. This is because the Hold module's off event will always be triggered by a tick of the event control rate clock - which has a normal resolution of between 2 and 5 ms.

...this may not be an issue for you however, and to get more accurate involves more work and more CPU overhead!

Compare->StepFilter->Separator Hi out This only sends 1 though, if you need the 0 put these after the Separator : Event Order, out 2->Value then merge with out 1.
