MSCDebouncer

Extension

Description

MSCDebouncer allows the user to debounce function calls, ensuring that at least interval seconds pass between calls. This behaviour is useful to ensure that calls happen at the end of a series of events, such as for user input.

In the below example, a random amount of time less than one second) passes between each loop, and a function is debounced by 500ms (at least 500ms must pass between the debounce call and the function execution, often more).( var deb = MSCDebouncer(0.5); var last_loop = Date.getDate.rawSeconds; var last_debounce = Date.getDate.rawSeconds; x = fork { loop { var now, elapsed; 1.0.rand.wait; now = Date.getDate.rawSeconds; elapsed = now - last_loop; "looped! (% sec since last loop)".format(elapsed.round(0.001)).postln; last_loop = now; deb.debounce({ var now = Date.getDate.rawSeconds; var elapsed = now - last_loop; "debounced! (% sec since last debounce)".format(elapsed.round(0.001)).postln; last_debounce = now; }); }; }; ) x.stop;

MSCDebouncer is a part of the MugicSpatCon Quark.
