Types/Object

====== Timestamp ======

This is a very complex type as it may contain various parts of a certain time or date. However, as it is used only in a very specific context - some functions related to tapping a tempo - you may retreat to the function [[macros:function:math.getcurrenttimestamp]] which returns the complete timestamp object of NOW.

Gregory Haynes:

> The panelTimeStamp is a DateTime structure, unfortunately this is not one of the ‘primitive’ types supported by the menu system i.e. you cannot do “dateTime:xxx” and there is no automatic conversion from strings or integer values. Similarly there do not appear to be any parsing, casting or conversion function which you can use.

> One option you can use is Math.GetCurrentTimeStamp so you can write a command like:

> Masters.TapTempo(“Location=Playback,2,1”, Math.GetCurrentTimeStamp())
