Thanks Claude and Georg,
It looks like this is the right track...
Looking at the metro code, I'm a little confused as to how the object continues to output bangs after the first. What does it mean that clock_delay "calls back"?
Thanks

Hi all,
Is there any way to have an external call a method periodically, without being triggered?
Clocks. Check the C API in "m_pd.h"..
I'm thinking of a histogram with a decay function, where the values are decremented every second (or other time value).
I've done something like this with Lua, although I had the decrementing done by a [gemhead] not an internal clock, for tighter syncing with visuals. That's what made the keys fade from orange->grey->blue, if you happened to be at LAC Club Night during my set.
Thanks!
