hi there,

is there a way to detect (lack of) changes in x/y movements of the grid object ?

i'm using the grid to control crossfade-like amplitude control of 4 different oscillators.
now i need a way that if you don't touch the grid you don't hear the oscillators.
is there a way to get a bang message when x/y controls are not moved for an amount of time ?
in other words when you
start moving x/y of the grid , you hear the oscillators & can control their amplitudes in a crossfadelike manner

, when stop moving x/y and values no longer change , you no longer hear the oscillatorscause it has activated a fade out ( via vline or something )

any suggestions ?
thanks in advance !

You'll probably want to use [delay] here. When the x/y values change, send a bang to a [delay] with the argument set for however long you want to wait and turn off the oscillators. If you send a bang to the [delay] before the time is up, it will reset and start over--the previous bang will not be sent. The bang coming out of [delay] can then be used to turn off the oscillators.

of course ! life can be easy , thanks for your help !
