Which variable contains a constantly increasing value?

Hi ralph ,

Accumulate a timer variable, like so:

MAT P1 = P1 + T0

P1 will increase each time that rule is evaluated.

'POS' should return the number of ms elapsed since transport start if transport is running. If not running, it should return 0. Maybe I have a bug here...

If you want to bypass the 128 max loop iteration safety net, then you can run concentric loops.

It is not possible to run a while loop continuously since in AUv3 we get called back by the host in fast render cycles.

You can however, run an inject loop (which is how Nimble Looper works for example), where you inject some sort of trigger event into the script with a delay and then when that event is seen inject another trigger.

Simple example to do something every second:

if load
  define loop_trigger F0 12 34 56

  # start inject loop
  send loop_trigger F7 +inject
end

# loop trigger handler
if M0 == loop_trigger
  .. loop body here

  # schedule another loop trigger
  send loop_trigger F7 +inject +D1000
end

Note that this will loop forever!
