While trying to make a simple arpeggiator/ step sequencer that did MIDI notes I stumbled on what looks like a solution to the lack of MIDI compatible timers in SynthMaker (at least until the new event system is ready).

MIDItimer.osm

I don't know that it's any better than Malc's workaround but I thought I'd post it here anyway. It uses the MIDI note event primtive and it's note off event to generate a MIDI compatible trigger.

I think counters also freeze on control moves, i use them for various things like sequencers, but timers are great for many things so many thanks for the workaround 😀

Hmm. Didnt quite understand that one but I did build a good trigger delay from the timer and counter inside it and that was all I needed. Thanx =) Not sure wh the one I tried to build earlier didnt work.

I found a functional solution to the trig midi 🙂

thanks to all

Hi oddson,

only want to verify this behaviour of your MIDItimer:

If the duration is 1000ms it continuously sends a changed trigger every second?

I get strange results in my big schematic after trying this workaround...

It seems this Midi Compatible Trigger workaround doesnt really work that well. I had some serious issues with it and Malc advised me not to use it =(

Damn... 🙁

I use the De-Threader instead with success now 🙂

Thanks aliasant 4 your info!

Yes. The De-Threader works better. It is not accurate but good enough for gui.

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
