i have a question on how i can make Pure Data output a steady Metro clock out of one of the Gate Outs on the Patch_Sm?
I was trying something like this for example:
[loadbang] - [Toggle] - [Metro 200] - [s Gateout1 @hv_param]
Is there anything i’m missing? Maybe a Bang object after the Metro?
The metro outputs a bang, but the Gateout wants an actual 1 value.
What I’ve done so far is setup a very short automated 1/0 message event like so:
This will immediately set a 1, then 10ms later back to 0.
You may need to tweak the delay time to what suits for your specific setup.
Thanks Dreamer! i will give that a try and see how it goes
The patch works!
However i was never able to change the metro tempo with a Ctrl potentiometer so I ended up using [hv.lfo square] coming out of one of the CV Outs and had a potentiometer to control the frequency.
It works for clocking most of my modules.
Nice! For a metro you have to re-bang it when changing the value. Otherwise it doesn’t know it needs to start again.
Works the same in pd afaik.
btw with [hv.lfo pulse] you can also adjust the width of the signal, which in some cases might give a better clock trigger. (some modules are picky about this)
