Timed silence?

[paper_lung]

Hi all, I'm looking to include a demo version of my products which would introduce a 5 second silence once every 30 seconds or so. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to achieve this?

@paper_lung a simple gain module set to -100 and a couple of timers in your script which turn it on and off when you want it to. Do you subscribe to @d-healey 's patreon? Pretty sure he has this covered in there somewhere...

@DanH Thanks! I'll take a look :)

@paper_lung something like this:

const MUTEGAIN = Synth.getEffect("MUTEGAIN");

const t = Engine.createTimerObject();

t.setTimerCallback(function()
{
	var up = this.getMilliSecondsSinceCounterReset();
	
	if (up > 30000)
		MUTEGAIN.setAttribute(MUTEGAIN.Gain, -100);
	else
		MUTEGAIN.setAttribute(MUTEGAIN.Gain, 0);
	
	if (up > 35000)
		this.resetCounter();
});



//	IF DEMO
inline function onDemoBtnControl(component, value)
{
	if (value)
		t.startTimer(1000);
	else
	{
		t.stopTimer();
		MUTEGAIN.setAttribute(MUTEGAIN.Gain, 0);
	}
};

Content.getComponent("DemoBtn").setControlCallback(onDemoBtnControl);

@ulrik Perfect, thankyou for the demonstration! I'll take a look at this and have a play around.
