I don't have a computer with a SMS (that would have to be a Mac in this context, I think) at hand. ... I'm not sure, BTW, why the SMS is polled in this way and not using "hi => now;", is there something speciffic about the SMS that is different from other HID devices that makes this preferable or is there some other reason to go for this method?

I think it's just to get the particular sound you get when a new voice is fired at regular intervals... I don't know what kind of noise he's recording, but when I tried it sounded kind of nifty. 'Cause his code differs from the example script he seems to have copied.

Technically its because the SMS interface on Mac laptops is polled, rather than interrupt-driven -- the Hid object in the case of the SMS won't actually fire any events. Also, polling it is relatively time- consuming. So rather than ChucK enforcing a specific poll rate, you can choose your own according to how expensive it actually is on your platform, how much CPU/sample you have to spare, etc. spencer
