How to check if a Task is finished

Questions
1

Hi all,

I’ am quite new to SC (but know the basics of Java) and this is my first time posting on the forum so greetings from Finland to everybody!
I tried googling and searching the documentation but couldn’t find the answer for this anywhere so…

If I’d like to do something - say, free a Synth - after a Task has carried out its final iteration, how could I check if it has finished?

Going through the Task documentation I found this:

…What’s that all about?

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately the specific notification isn’t documented :man_facepalming: but it works like this:

(
var dependant;

t = Task {
	5.do { |i|
		i.postln;
		0.5.wait;
	}
}.play;

dependant = SimpleController(t).put(\stopped, {
	dependant.remove;
	"task has stopped".postln;
});
)
