It's actually not quite that simple: in mirrored loop mode, the duration from start to start is 2x duration. It's still manageable, just a bit more complex than checking against 0.5. > I think you can make yourself a custom virtual macro that did this exact > function you desire using existing patches, and load it into your patch > library. > Basically, I often want to know when an Interpolation patch has just > 'bounced' from one of it's Start or End values, and sometimes, which > direction it's heading in. > This would be useful for triggering events at the end of the > interpolation, loop, etc. clean way: If loop mode is none, and patch time is 0, it just hit start. if patch time == duration, it just ended. (you should check if the interval between the current frame and the last frame includes the end time, instead of expecting to have a frame land exactly on the end time) If loop mode is repeat, check last frame time and current frame time, see if the interval contains the duration, and if so, you just ended. If loop mode is mirrored repeat,… you get the idea. It's totally addressable with built-in patches, as long as you're mindful of the duration and do interval math correctly. -- Christopher Wright [email protected]
