Thanks Mario, So once you started the VM to run, time floats at the speed of 44100 times a sec. So the "now" can only see things if they'r fed into it at a frequency less or even a 44100 th time of a second.
Does this mean that i can feed anything into the "now"? Or only things that contain a kind of trigger? But in case of a midi message this trigger "min => now" kind of wakes up chuck to do the nex thing on the list? e.g. read the incoming message?

Anyway, more info in the link I shared :) On Tue, 11 Feb 2020 at 11:03, Mario Buoninfante <mario.buoninfa...@gmail.com<mailto:mario.buoninfa...@gmail.com>> 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.

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.
