Hello

There is something I can't explain. If you check those 2 super basic racks :
Rack 1, the counter has a quicklink "finished trigger" that restarts the count. It only works with a wait module (no wait = no restart counter)
Rack 2 is the same patch without quicklink, directly wired : there is no wait module needed.

Can you tell me why ?
(I'm of course not discussing what is doing this basic patch, it's just a behavior example)

Hi !
that is because quicklinks are faster and be computed on the same cycle vs wires may take a bit more time.
the ms counter is sending a trig at the end of duration, and once this is done it waits for a trig on the start input, that can only be done on next cycle
best practice is to use a wait, even with wires.

anyway, you could achieve the same sampler behaviour with putting the sampler in loop mode.
I recommend also that you explore what can be done with the "restarting" output

Thanks Oli for your explaination.
Having a wire solution slower than a wireless one is a kind of counterintuitive!

And I'll keep this practice in mind, using a wait in any case.
