how do I set up a limit length for midi output note ON messages?

[x.iso]

While working on improving this patch here:
http://www.sensomusic.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=5898

I've stumbled on a problem, that in certain situations some dispatched notes from my sequencer never receive note OFF message, so the note freezes until it's hit with same 'note on' message. I need something to trace all notes and send 'note off' message to those that exceed the limit set by fader or other control. How can I do that?

[x.iso]

and another question is how do I make Has Changed module equivalent (or workaround), that triggers on any flow, even if incoming data is the same? Basically I just need a trigger on any flow activity

[x.iso]

So, no ideas?
I've solved the problem with loosing note OFF messages, but the implementation with length limiter would be also interesting.

As for other question, I guess there's no such module? I had some idea for subpatch as such module substitute, I'll share when I get it done.

for your second question one possible way is you can use the 'is null' module in HH3 /patching followed by a logical not.
if flow is stopped size will be null, so the null output 1, not will ouput 0 and vice versa.

if you need like a pass if change something constantly sending pulese 0..10..1 ect add a toggle out of this that'll make each bloc alternate, ie :

as for first question, I was dumb. It's easily solved by midi transform module, which got maximum length option and that's the solution for me.

Have you tried the new Length options in the Transformer? (I assume that's what you are using)
I ran into the same problems ages ago.
Actually I'd have to dig and convert...but I wrote a buffer script that was dynamic. Was pretty cool but needed some work.
It was essentially the same type of thing, if it didn't recognize in a specified amount of time it would send out the buffered note # corresponding.
(had a really cool dynamic channelizer too...was using for micro tonality project).

I was needing something a while back, hence the new mode suggestions for the transformer.
I haven't had a chance to really dig into the new mode, seemed to work well though.

yeah, that was exactly what I was looking for, just somehow escaped my attention that there was such a mode in midi transform module.

Awesome, hope it works well...I got sidetracked at the moment and haven't made my way back to MIDI sounding....more control at the moment.
I think it should be able to turn on/off now as well. Before once you adjusted the length you couldn't revert to just normal...
