Convert between musical time and clock time

The translate object performs conversions from one kind of time unit to any other, and is particularly useful when you need to convert from a tempo-relative time unit to a clock time unit (e.g., convert note values to milliseconds) or vice versa. In this example, try changing the bpm tempo of the transport, and you'll see that the translate object sends out updated information whenever the tempo changes.

"The translate object updates its output when the tempo changes" gives additional explanation.
