I've the animation clock running from 0 to 1.
For one object, the clock needs te be faster at 1 than al others. Is
there a formula which can do that?
I tried clock/((1/x)+clock), but it doesn't work very well.

If I understand that right then you want acceleration.  Thanks to Chris
Colefax and his  ClockMod.inc  I can show you that as being: pow(mclock, 2 *
clock_strength)  where 'mclock' is 'clock' and 'clock_strength' is simply how
much more or less of a rate change you want (1 being default).
There's also another that might do okay: sin((mclock - .5) * pi) / 2 + .5
which starts slow and goes quickly at midrange then levels off.
Best thing you could do is to get that include file at:
http://www.geocities.com/ccolefax/  or get the macro version of it.

Hm,

perhaps use min(clock*1.5,1)?

I couldn't get any of the formulas to work well, I think I'm doing
something wrong, but I'm now using AutoClck.mcr from the Clockmod
package. It's wonderfull.

There's a tutorial that will help you learn how to use the
AutoClck.mcr
