Arp attribute setting and note playback

[Lindon]

yet more things I dont understand...are calls to setAttribute asyncronous?

This code:

function onNoteOn()
{
    local midiTgt = 0;
    local resettingArp = currentArp;
    currentArp = 1 - currentArp;
    midiTgt = currentArp + 1;

    Globals.trgtArp = 1 - Globals.trgtArp;
    if (Globals.trgtArp == 1)
    {
        Console.print("resetting: Arp 1");
        Arpeggiator2.setAttribute(Arpeggiator2.ResetButton, 0);
        Arpeggiator1.setAttribute(Arpeggiator1.ResetButton, 1);
    }else{
        Console.print("resetting: Arp 2");
        Arpeggiator1.setAttribute(Arpeggiator1.ResetButton, 0);
        Arpeggiator2.setAttribute(Arpeggiator2.ResetButton, 1);
    }
    Message.setChannel(Globals.trgtArp + 1);
    //Message.delayEvent(15000); 
}

I think this should reset each arp in turn and then play a note that it is looking for.(MIDI Channel) .but what this does is give you a single "blip" note - as if the note message hits the arps before they are reset - even adding a delayEvent does nothing --- what am I missing?

I tried the exact same thing and got the blib note. I think the issue is that changing the attributes of GUI controls happens on the message thread not the real-time one.

OK so do we have a work around? _ I cant see how its the reason you suggest as even applying a delayEvent (which should delay the real-time event - otherwise whats it doing) . Using a delay value that results in a few seconds of delay - still gives me this blip..

@Lindon I don't know of a solution
