thanks for the reply, but i guess i didn't describe my problem
correctly:

• the patch should receive unregular bangs and
• only send one bang x seconds after the LAST bang

.... so: if it doesn't receive a bang for more than x seconds it will
send a bang.

hope this becomes clearer now.

Sven's patch does exactly that! The first bang represents your "irregular" input, triggered by whatever. The reason this works is because every input to delay resets delay's timer, so if you send 3 bangs quickly, it will send out one bang 1000 ms (or whatever) after the *last* of the 3.

...

...

try this:

[bng] | [delay 1000] <- your x seconds*1000 in here | [bng]
