Hi,
I have a 4 by 4 pad where each button in the pad triggers a midi note. I'd now like to detect inactivity and do one of the following;
1. If none of the pad buttons are touched, a timer starts. If the timer reaches 30 seconds then a midi note is sent out (note 100).
2. If any of the pads are touched then the timer is reset and a midi note is sent out (note 101).
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Detect inactivity
I've used the MIDI/Sequencer clocks as timers.
You can use clock_start(), clock_stop(), and have scripts trigger "on clock"
Very roughly:
you can choose a tempo and note subdivision and then each time it is reached, your on clock script is called. Keep a global counter in it and when the required number of ticks/calls have been made, send out your message and reset the counter to 0.
