MAXBANG sends a ‘bang’ out the right outlet of the rtcmix~ object. It can also be used in iRTcmix for iOS.
MAXBANG works by setting a flag when the MAXBANG note is scheduled. An internal function, check_bang(), determines if the flag has been set. If it has, it produces a ‘bang’ at the right outlet of the Max/MSP rtcmix~ object.
MAXBANG can also be used in iRTcmix for timing and scheduling purposes (the check_bang() function is called directly in the application developer code).
MAXBANG is limited by the vector or buffer size, so it is not sample-accurate. Scheduling more then one ‘bang’ within a vector or buffer will only result in one ‘bang’ at the vector/buffer boundary.
very basic:
rtsetparams(44100, 1)
load("MAXBANG") // note: the "load" is not necessary in rtcmix~/iRTcmix
// send a bang 1.5 seconds after receiving this score
MAXBANG(1.5)
