Thanks Claude and Georg,<br><br>It looks like this is the right track...<br>&nbsp; <br>Looking at the metro code, I&#39;m a little confused as to how the object continues to output bangs after the first. What does it mean that clock_delay &quot;calls back&quot;? <br>

&gt; Hi all,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Is there any way to have an external call a method periodically, without<br>
&gt; being triggered?<br>

&gt; I&#39;m thinking of a histogram with a decay function, where the values are<br>
&gt; decremented every second (or other time value).<br>
<br>
</div>I&#39;ve done something like this with Lua, although I had the decrementing<br>
done by a [gemhead] not an internal clock, for tighter syncing with<br>
visuals. &nbsp;That&#39;s what made the keys fade from orange-&gt;grey-&gt;blue, if you<br>
happened to be at LAC Club Night during my set.<br>
