Limiting triggers density (relax time)

1

Hello, just polling for different approaches here.
I want to put a relax time to triggers: a filter that allows at most one trigger to pass every x seconds.
Language-side, I would store a timestamp and ignore all subsequent triggers until timestamp+x.
Server-side, I’m doing it like this:

{
	var trig = Trig1.kr(Dust.kr(10),0.01);
	var relaxTime = 0.2;
	var relaxTrig = Gate.kr(trig,Sweep.kr(LocalIn.kr(1))>relaxTime);
	LocalOut.kr(relaxTrig);
	
	[trig,relaxTrig]
}.plot(2)

It seems like it works fine, but since I guess many people implemented something like this, I’d like to see other approaches :slight_smile:

Thanks! I didn’t realize Trig1 alone does this perfectly :slight_smile:
