The metro object can be used to send out periodic “bangs”.
The tempo object takes a beats per minute argument and outputs bangs at that rate.
The timer object reports elapsed time between events.
The counter object counts bangs and outputs numbers between specified min/max values. It can count in both up and down directions.
The line object outputs float values between specified start and end values over a specified duration. A message can be used, which specifies the duration, followed by a comma and then the start and end values (without a comma).
