PPQPos to trigger Midi Buffer: a stupid question?

I've thought a lot about it, read many posts in the forum, but without any result 🙁 What can I do to trigger the Midi Buffer's "flush" input from the PPQPosition output? Maybe it's a stupid question, but I can't find the answer. Thanks Giovanni

you need a code module that reads the ppq as a monostream and that outputs something different each time you want to flush the midi buffer. note that you will only be able to flush the buffer with a maximum of ~10ms accuracy.

for example something like this (i assume a normalized ppq input between 0 and 1 for each trigger): streamin ppqnorm; streamout trigger; trigger = (ppqnorm==0)&1;

then connect the trigger out to a mono2float with a tick100 or 25 depending on the needed accuracy and put that float output into a boolean to triggerand then go into the flush trigger.

Thanks very much, Michael. It seems so simple now that you've explained it to me, but I'd never understand it by myself 🙂 Giovanni

you are welcome. but as i think about it - you could do it also without the code module, going directly to the m2f and do the comparing/trigger in green to save some cycles.
