Hello All,

Can anyone advise on how to replicate the URN object from Max in PD? And while we're at it, COUNTER and DRUNK?

unfortunately i do not know, what the URN object does.

COUNTER: there are various types of counters in the examples at doc/2.control.examples/06.counter.pd doc/2.control.examples/07.more_counters.pd you can easily design your own counter (even one, that behaves like the max-object)

DRUNK: if you edit your counter, so that the stepsize becomes a random value (with the "random" object) this will behave somehow like drunk.

The PD-Lib project at Sourceforge haven't got to it yet...I tried with != and == constructs, even tried to do Anti-bis from RTC-Lib out of Rowe's machine musicianship, but I guess my pd skills aren't up to it yet. The main problem was trying to get the equivalent of:

if ($i1!=$i2) then $i1 else out2 bang

#N canvas 241 175 450 300 10; #X obj 85 30 inlet; #X obj 197 30 inlet; #X obj 85 103 select 1 0; #X obj 85 54 t f f; #X obj 85 186 outlet; #X obj 160 188 outlet; #X obj 85 158 f; #X obj 85 80 != $2; #X connect 0 0 3 0; #X connect 1 0 7 1; #X connect 2 0 6 0; #X connect 2 1 5 0; #X connect 3 0 7 0; #X connect 3 1 6 1; #X connect 6 0 4 0; #X connect 7 0 2 0;

to work in PD. Tried expr (this is where I belate dumbness, surely) with no success. There's gotta be an easy way...right?
