hi
i'm pretty new to pd so this might be a stupid question, so sorry if it is.
i'm trying to take in coordinates from a tablet (using gemtablet) and you use them to play midi notes
my problem is that they come in together to quickly and it bangs the note twice rapidly. i've tried to stop this by using the spigot but they are the messages are being sent to the makenote object within a milisecond of each other. is there any object that would take the first message and ignore the rest
thats for reading

try the [speedlim] object, a sort of sample&hold utility for messages.
it's in the "cyclone" library (its site seems to be temporarily down) as well as in "IEMlib" (http://iem.kug.ac.at/~musil/iemlib/).
if you want just the FIRST message of a message-series, you should try [once] (that's an abstraction in "IEMLIB").
ciao

The problem is to "debounce" your stream of numbers. Try this. I use it with a Kaos Pad. The full patch [for using Kaos Pad controller] is here:

good luck, d.

Sorry, was missing one thing here....
Try this one instead. I can't remember what lib [gate] comes from, maybe zexy?

cyclone has a Max/MSP compatible [gate] which in my opinion is much more useful than the IEMlib [gate], which is just a different version of [spigot]. The cyclone [gate] allows you to choose between a number of outlets.
