Detailed Description

Time mainpulation functions.

Function Documentation

function spawn	(	fun	,
			...
	)

launch a function in a separate parallel execution thread.

the function execution will is defered at the end of the current 'instant'

Parameters

fun	function to launch
...	variable number of arguments to pass to the function

function print_n_times(n, waitingTime)
    for i=1,n do
        print("time", getTime(), "print_n_times", i)
        wait(waitingTime)
    end
end

spawn(print_n_times, 3, 1000) 

print("time", getTime(), "end of spawn") 

function run	(	fun	,
			...
	)

launch a function in a separate parallel execution thread.

execute it immediately, then goes back to the caller thread once the thread waits for something

Parameters

fun	function to launch
...	variable number of arguments to pass to the function

function print_n_times(n, waitingTime)
    for i=1,n do
        print("time", getTime(), "print_n_times", i)
        wait(waitingTime)
    end
end

run(print_n_times, 3, 1000) 

print("time", getTime(), "end of run") 

function waitBeat

(

beat

)

suspend the current thread callback execution for the given number of beats.

Parameters

beat	the number of beats to wait, has to be greater than 0

function wait

(

ms

)

suspend the current thread callback execution for the given number of samples.

It allows other thread callbacks to be resumed in between. The thread scheduler is sample-accurate.

Parameters

ms	the number of milliseconds to wait, has to be greater than 0

waitForRelease, waitBeat

Examples:

Ensemble.lua, portamento.lua, tremolo.lua, and vibrato.lua.

function waitForRelease

(

)

suspend the current thread callback execution until the note that created this callback is released either by the pedal or by a note off.
