Using Timer Objects for Realtime/Midi

[aaronventure]

I have needs of some periodical code execution and checkups regarding the MIDI playback, but I do not need it to be 100% strictly accurate, so I'm looking to save some CPU power. Should I just use the timer object? I know it can't be a panel timer, as that will sleep when the GUI is closed.

Does this still run on the realtime thread? Are there any issues when doing an offline render?

No.

Yes. Use the synth timer for anything that is affecting the sound output.
