Metronome

[terjeotte]

Hi. I plan to make a metronome, but do not know where to begin. Does anyone have any advice or code I can copy or take a look at? I can buy the code if it is not too expensive. This is urgent, so its nice if there is anyone who can help me.

You can start making the design of the application buy finding a good metronome image. Than create Circle like a clock field and for every second position you should make a pointer. You may load the pointer position when the time passes...
There was an clock example like that with memory ex plugin but now I can't find it.

Thanks for the reply. I have already created a design. What I need help with is the coding of the program. How, for example, can i get a klicktrack to go faster and slower using buttons and a slider. The metronome should also have an opportunity to change the time signature.

I don't remember now how the metronome works...
You can set the speed of the action with:
Application.Sleep(value);

Hope this will help you

Thanks for the reply. I have read me that by using the techniques "Application.sleep", make the metronome not in sync. I would hereby also like to hear if there are other methods that make the metronome in sync.

See also the command System.GetTime();

Thank you. I'll try the method you describe :-)

Thank you. I'll try the method you describe :-)

The metronome marks the tempo with a selectable interval.

This is what the timer does in AMS. When you set the timer, for example, to 1000, the timer marks a "tic" every second.

In this way, you simply need to change the timer value to have the metronome marking a different tempo. To do this, you can use the SliderObject or the Spin Object plugin.

Here is an example of Metronome

Note : Requires GlobalTimer plugin

This is a very interesting site where to learn all about the metronome plus a free online metronome:

Thanks so much for your feedback. The metronome you have attached only works when the speed is at 1? Is there something wrong with the file you have attached?

Excuse, my previous reply was meant for another. But thanks for your feedback, now things start to fall into place :-) I will try the plugins you have suggested.
