translate
Description
The translate object converts between different units of time. Supported time values are beats (quarter note), frequency in Hz (hertz), milliseconds, ticks and samples. All time values are tempo and sample rate sensitive.
Arguments
inunit [symbol]
Optional
Input unit. (ticks, ms, samples, hz, beats)
outunit [symbol]
Optional
Output unit. (ticks, ms, samples, hz, beats)
Inlets
value [number]
Value to convert.Outlets
out [number]
outFixed Attributes
These attributes must be set in the object box and determine the behavior of the object at runtime.
inunit [symbol] (default: beats)
Input unit. (ticks, ms, samples, hz, beats)
outunit [symbol] (default: ticks)
Output unit. (ticks, ms, samples, hz, beats)
Dynamic Attributes
These attributes can be modified in the code during execution using the set object
value [number]
Value to convert.
