Synth.startTimer not calling onTimer callback

[Casey Kolb]

Hello! I'm trying to setup a really basic tempo synced note repeater for each sampler, but for some reason nothing will start the onTimer callback. I'm probably missing something really obvious. Here's a WIP:

/* Basic tempo synced note repeater */ 
const var loopButton = Content.addButton("Loop", 0, 10);
loopButton.set("text", "Loop");

var notes = [];
notes.reserve(127);

var heldNotes = [];

inline function playAllHeldNotes() {
    for (var i = 0; i < heldNotes.length; i++) {
        Synth.playNote(heldNotes[i], 127);
    }
}

function onNoteOn() {
    local note = Message.getNoteNumber();
    local eventId = Message.makeArtificial();

    notes[note] = eventId;
    heldNotes.push(note);
    
    if (loopButton.getValue() == 1) {
        local interval = Engine.getMilliSecondsForQuarterBeats(1);

        // if first note on, start timer
        if (!Synth.isLegatoInterval()) {
            Synth.startTimer(interval);
        }
    }
}

function onNoteOff() {
    local note = Message.getNoteNumber();
    Synth.noteOffByEventId(notes[note]);

    notes[note] = -1;
    heldNotes.remove(note);

    // if no notes are held, stop timer
    if (!Synth.isLegatoInterval()) {
        Synth.stopTimer();
    }
}

function onTimer() {
    Console.print("TIMER!!!");
    playAllHeldNotes();
}

function onControl(number, value) {

}

function onController() {

}

Would appreciate any suggestions! Thanks.

Post a snippet

Actually I see the problem. Synth.startTimer() doesn't take a value in milliseconds.

WOW! I knew it was something simple. Yes, that should do the trick. Thank you!

Also if you use an Engine.createTimer() type timer then the value IS in milliseconds :p

@d-healey said in Synth.startTimer not calling onTimer callback:

So I'm realizing haha
