Are there wait() or sleep() methods? or do you use the framerate somehow? Sorry I'm very new to this. Any good "making music with Processing" tutorials? or websites? Thanks, Matt

But what if you want your processing file itself to wait. for example I'd like play a sample wait a second, play it again, then loop.
