I was wondering if anybody has experienced a problem using hostsync~ with ableton live.

Basically, whenever I route the audio from the patch below into Live i get digital distorted mess. This only occurs when hostsync~ transport control is used to toggle on and off the metro. If hostsync~isn't connected then the signal is fine.

Funny thing is, is that if I just send a Cycle~ object through rewire to live with hostsync~ connected the signal is fine.

i'm baffled. Can anybody shed some light on this?

I'm using OSX 10.5.3, Max 5.0.2, and ableton live 7.0.7.

Well, nevermind. I just found that by putting a change object in between the Hostsync~ and the metro solves the problem.

I'm away from my MacBook right now, so can't look into it, but:

doesn't hostsync~ put out messages at an extremely high rate (like

once per signal vector)? The expected usage is to use [change] to
