Hi list, I'm hoping someone can give me some brief guidance as I'm sure this is a solved problem in S7 and CM but is beyond my lisp knowledge for how to do it correctly.
Max/MSP has a scheduler that works with it's global clock. I want to enable something like the following: (delay :4n '(my-funct a b c)) So the delaying side will be implemented in C, and that side will handle converting :4n to the right time according to the max clock and then call *something* in S7 from C at the right time. My question is what the right way to store and then call the delayed function is, given that it might also have anonymous elements (delay :4n (list (lambda (x) (...)) :foo :bar)) Ideally, the way this is done would be compatible with future plans to allow a variant that we can cancel: (define future (delay :4n '(my-fun a b c))) ... now I can cancel it by doing something to future if need be Do I need to do something like have my arg 3 to delay be converted to a function and environment captured and stored with gensym? Is there a known pattern for this that I can look at in the common music sources or other lisp literature? Any help preventing slow wheel re-invention much appreciated! thanks iain
