@section{description}
|
|
|
|
SystemClock is more accurate, but cannot call GUI primitives.
|
|
|
|
You will need to use the link::Classes/SystemClock:: to get accurate/musical scheduling.
|
|
|
|
See link::Classes/Clock:: for general explanation of how clocks operate.

sched
|
|
The float you return specifies the delta to resched the function for. Returning nil will stop the task from being rescheduled.

Clear the AppClock's scheduler to stop it.

@section{method}
|
|
play
|
|
The link::Classes/Routine:: (or link::Classes/Task::) yields a float value indicating the delta (secs) for the AppClock to wait until resuming the Routine.

@section{method}
|
|
tick
|
|
AppClock.tick is called periodically by the SuperCollider language interpreter. This updates the link::Classes/Scheduler:: and causes any scheduled tasks to be executed. You should never call this method yourself.
