NKSP. However when calculating time differences between two time |
| 307 |

stamps taken with <code>$NKSP_REAL_TIMER</code>, calling such a reset |

internal clock which is used for generating such time stamps is only |

running forward if the respective script is actually executed by the |

your script got suspended by a wait() call or got forcely suspended due to |

real-time constraints, or when the entire sampler application got suspended |

You should <b>not</b> use it with your final production sounds! |

It is not appropriate for being used in a musical context, because |

when an offline bounce is performed for instance, the musical timing |
