What I am trying to achieve is to delay a toggle signal until my patch is at its 1st Bar. (I have set up a universal beat/bar time for the patch. I cannot use the del or pipe objects as i don't have the delay time in MS. Hopefully the patch below will explain. I am using Max 5.0.3

P.S Sorry for the long patch text but I don't really know how to save a patch as a neat txt file in Max 5
