elapsedtime

Read absolute time, in seconds, since the start of the performance.

Syntax

ires = elapsedtime()
kres = elapsedtime()
ires elapsedtime
kres elapsedtime

Performance

Time in seconds is available with elapsedtime. This would return 0.5 after half a second.

elapsedtime can both produce a k-rate variable for output. There are no input parameters.

elapsedtime can also operate at the start of the instance of the instrument. It produces an i-rate variable (starting with i or gi) as its output.

📝 Note

elapsedtime acts like times but it returns the correct values instead of being one cycle late.
