repeatingTriangle values

Question

Hello and happy new year!

why if put this expression on a SoundToGlobalController:

(1 repeatingTriangle: 5 s) eq: 1

it never becomes 1?

Answer 1

It becomes 1, but it doesn't stay at that value for very long. Do you want to use it as a trigger/gate? Maybe test for an interval of values rather than exactly equal to 1, for example

(1 repeatingTriangle: 5 s) gt: 0.99

or

(1 repeatingTriangle: 5 s) gt: !OnDur

which would let you adjust the fraction of time each cycle is on.
