Ability to delay Vinyl actions #72

Closed patchuby closed 4 months ago

patchuby commented 1 year ago

Being able to delay the execution of functions without using an external library.

Possible ways to do this :

optional arguments in existing functions
delayed copy of each function (for exemple VinylGainTargetSetDelayed)
a single function that sets all further action on a voice or label to be delayed by a specified amount. Maybe with an option to reset with the next delayed function call

What's your use case?

patchuby commented 1 year ago

I started thinking about it when making HLT (that would be solved with #73 ) to play the tail. But in general it would be useful to be able to delay action to be triggered on the next beat or the next bar. In that context a callback function that triggers on the next beat or next bar would do as well.

No longer in scope for Vinyl native. Perhaps https://github.com/Gizmo199/audio-tempo/ could be modified to support this?

Yes, this functionality is already available via audio_tempo_queue_sound/method(). But a queue_delay_for(number of downbeats) could be nice as well.

Thanks! :)
