I had made a simple patch a few days ago that used a shuffle object to generate numbers, it sent to a t b f, which then fed into a metro object.

bang
|
[shuffle 200 700]
|
[t b f]
^
[metro]
(metro loops back to bang on top)

There was slightly more to it than these three objects, though, but it fully worked and created an irregular metro pulse that had a "generative" feel.

Now, when I try to use it (with just those three objects) the patch goes into stack overflow and shuts down.

I know I didn't have much more than that code, and it worked great. In a fit of hubris, I thought I would remember something so simple:(

What is a simple way to use the shuffle object to generate the metro pulse's time, while not going into overflow?

@gummi Hello Gummi.
You can often fix stack overflows with a delay, so that the loop is long enough.
This works.....shuffle_fix.pd
but in fact you don't need the metro as it will bang after the "shuffle time" and the delay does exactly the same.........
