[PD] stopping messages

[Ronan Tighe]

hi

i'm pretty new to pd so this might be a stupid question, so sorry if it is.

i'm trying to take in coordinates from a tablet (using gemtablet) and you
use them to play midi notes

my problem is that they come in together to quickly and it bangs the note
twice rapidly. i've tried to stop this by using the spigot but they are the
messages are being sent to the makenote object within a milisecond of each
other. is there any object that would take the first message and ignore the
rest  

thats for reading
