Hi, I'm new to this forum, but I've been reading the post here for the last two weeks looking for answers regarding PD, and I found it great... thank you very much in advance!!

So, now, my problem:

Actually, is very simple. I have a qlist object that is reading a file and sending data to the corresponding [receive] objects.
Each value is read by its receive object, and I need to re-send it after a DELAY TIME.

The problem is that the values can be a simple float or a list of floats, and that's variable.

So, when I intend to use [PIPE] to delay the message, it only stores and, later, sends, the first of the elements of the list!!!!!

So, how can I do to queue a list of floats (a pure, simple list!!) and send it after a delay time??

I thought [pipe] could manage lists, but I don't know if I'm doing something wrong...

Anyway, thank you very much, and I wait for someone's answer!!!!!

OK, I found list-fifo, and I think I'm in the good path.. It's exactly what I was looking for, execpt that now I need a [delay] object that could receive more than one value and send bangs sequencially...
That exists????
Something that could enqueue delays...

thankyou!!!!

there's an external called [t3_delay] or something like that, i've never used it, but i remember reading about it, and i think it does what you want.

You can store lists in the

object's right inlet and bang the left when you need to. Also, you can probably just do what you want with [qlist]. If the first number of a list (i.e., one line in the textfile) in [qlist] is a number, it will convert that number into a delay time in milliseconds and what that long from the previous line to send it. So a textfile that has the line:

1000 mylist 12 4 5 90;

will send 12 4 5 90 to [r mylist] after a 1000ms delay. If you're not doing that already, maybe that will solve your problem (?). Otherwise, you could rig up a [qlist] to do what you need by filling it up with lines with leading delay times that will send bangs, rewind it, and run it.

YES!!

Thank you very very much Maelstorm, that's exactly what I did, and it worked out perfectly.

I read about t3_delay... I have it, I even read the help file, and I didn't understand what it does

Anyway, thank you very much both of you!

I think [t3_delay] is just meant to be able to bang within block boundaries. Those IEM help files can be pretty cryptic, though.
