a little explanation please ...

if I want to know the durations for some sound in real-time terms, but in correlation to given bpm ...

lets say, the durations of crotchet in 100 bpm is

100 bpm s = 0.60000001430512d s

so duration of the whole note (or one bar in 4/4) will be
(100 bpm s)*4

but, what if I want to have duration for 1/5 of the bar (or 1/13, 1/21 ...)
to have 5/5 time (or 13/13, 21/21 ... Float pi/Float pi )

I tried with

((100 bpm s)*4)/5 = 0.48000001144409d s

is this the way to do it?

thanx!

also, I hope that everybody is eating sweets, and generally enjoying in season's treats

I wish you all a very Kyma and happy and successful 2012.

Yes, this would give you 1/5 of the bar duration.

If you want to derive the BPM from rate of triggers (the rate of KeyDowns, for example), you could use:

!KeyDown durationBetweenTriggers s bpm removeUnits

and I just remembered what I wanted to suggest: IMO it would be nice to be possible to save *.txt files inside the Sound files
so all the mathematics and staff would be in one/same place
just a thought!
