Re: [chuck-users] => now

to be a bit more precise, when you have something like min => now; your program waits for a MIDI event in order to advance, but the ChucK time is still running. Anyway, more info in the link I shared :) On Tue, 11 Feb 2020 at 11:03, Mario Buoninfante wrote:

Hi Herman,

You can use Events/MIDI/HID to advance in time. Have a look at this chapter if you want to know more about it https://en.flossmanuals.net/chuck/_full/#events In a nutshell what happens is that a MIDI event is received and that turns into a *trigger*, so your program advances in time. Otherwise it stays there until a MIDI even happens. See it more as a trigger than a *time constant* if that makes sense.

Cheers, Mario

Hi,

I'm trying to understand what's really happening in chuck. I thought i did untill i saw some exemples of midi.

Normaly you can only feed time or duration into now ( e.g. 10::ms => now) But in case you are awaiting a midi-in message you write :

MidiIn min; while (true) { min => now }

So in fact do you assign the message to time? Total confusion! Thanks for your answer.

Herman
