Sometimes the simple answer is the last one you think of.

I’m trying to get transport info from Live into Max with no luck :-(

Plugsync~ and Transport have a lot in common. What are the pros and cons?

Cheers,

Willem.

Apart from that, whatever you like…

This can be useful for handling different exact beat subdivisions.

This gives you transport location as well.

I wonder if this makes a difference in practice regarding accuracy..

This is a max patch outside of live, not a maxforlive patch. Any ideas? Is there something really obvious I’m missing?

Thanks for your help.

Naw – it’s cool – come on over to the other side.

@ragamesound. Sorry , I have no ideas which might help you. You might try starting a new thread with some more details and a patch.

Cheers

thanks for the encouragement.
So I’ve changed my metro+transport patches to plugsync~, and it seems to work perfectly!

The attached example shows a synced 16th note counter.
Interestingly, plugsync~ delivers the current transport position also when not running.
So I’ve inserted a gate to avoid possible effects when the patch is loaded.

Any comments/improvements are welcome.
