hello in the manual there is written


On Activation
Sends a 1 value when the patch is activated or starts its calculation:

when the main engine of Usine is switched ON
when the parent rack is activated in the The Grid Panel
out
Sends 1 when the patch is just activated, 0 otherwise.


how does it work wit the main engine? it sends 1 only when the main engine is started for the first time, or any time when main engine changes its state from off to on?

Hi drakh,

It looks like On Activation is actually a more rack specific. If you use in a patch within the rack, it sends a 1,0 pulse when the rack is enabled.
Almost like a Rack-Activation

Used in conjunction with the Grid, when the Rack is activated by the Grid it will send out a pulse.

On Initialization seems like it only happens once when the first-time the main engine is started...like a first-time initialization.

Need to update Wiki with some clearer info for this and use.

but in HH1 this works :/ as written in manual. i am using it in arGRID for syncing the tracks to main tempo. so everytime, i stop the main engine, and then start it again, the tracks start on the begining in the correct sync with main tempo.
and one another thing - the main tempo position indicators are somehow stucked. In HH1 when i restarted the main engine, main tempo showed normally position 1/1 , but in HH2 the beat indicator is somhow stucked, for example i stop main engine on 2/3, then i start, the indicator shows 1/3 when it should show 1/1 (so i assume all computations based on bar/beat positions will be wrong)

Is there some other module which sends something like "on start" event ?

probably it wil be good to split this module into separate parts to catch events idependly
on activation of rack ( https://github.com/drakh/hollyhock-libr ... vation.pat )
on activation of patch
on activation of main engine
