Using a metro-locked phasor does not seem to enable recording into seq~ like a ‘regular’ phasor. Also, the message ‘eraseall’ does not seem to work like ‘clear’.

Also, a question: What’s the best way to maintain the tightness of signal domain sequencing after the seq~ object?

Here’s the patch:

This means the metro isn’t locked to anything. For example, I can get your locked phasor to work by simply going to the Max5 menubar under the “Extras” heading, selecting “GlobalTransport”, and then activating the GlobalTransport. At that point, your locked phasor works find according to whatever BPM i’ve input into the Global transport.

In other words, phasors do not lock to metros, they lock to transports as do metros and all the other tempo-lockables.

Here’s a mod to your patch to demonstrate more quickly than my words might:

Yes, I was using the Global Transport to test this patch. Are you able to get the seq~ to record bangs at all when using the Global Transport with the locked phasor?

Thanks.

If I switch to the regular phasor after having recorded using the locked phasor, it’ll play the events back but not if I’m using the locked phasor to play back.

And, just to make sure you’re not recording over previous runs with silence/inaction, do me a favor and click on record, overdub, and play and leave them all on at the same time, while you record bangs into it.
I’ve also included a scope~ which should read a ramp from 0 to 1 no matter which phasor~ you choose. Let me know your results:

Still nothing… Definitely outputting a ramp but the seq~ is not playing back the bangs…

Keep me updated, though if you get any further locating the problem or any workarounds/solutions.

(it’s really strange if it outputs the same ramp that seq~ wouldn’t respond appropriately… i’ll keep looking at it, too…)

I’m on MacOSX. in that case, i’d let Andrew and the team investigate. you could also send an email directly to
support at cycling 74 dot com
let them know the problem and the exact specs of your computer and then reference this thread so that they can look into the details and corroborate with Andrew and the team further.

We’ll look into it,” this means the bug has been logged in our bug-tracking system and sent on to the developers, and you don’t need to do anything else unless someone contacts you for further info. Sending an email about this issue to support will just mean more redundant work for someone else.

Thanks to all for the assistance.

I can see if this is just the way it is or if this is a bug, but regardless, I highly recommend that you have both of these options activated whenever you are doing anything with ITM.

Another thing, ‘eraseall’ is not a valid message to seq~, not sure where that came from. You want ‘erase’, which is the same as ‘clear’.

All the best,

Hi,

Sorry, it’s in the seq~ help subpatch [editing] and it’s ‘erase all’ not ‘eraseall’, you’re right.
Also, ‘add’ and ‘delete’ entries in the seq~ Reference are transposed.
By the way, excuse my ignorance, but what is ITM? This is the second time in as many days that I’ve seen the acronym.

i was suffering this same problem.
using ‘scheduler in audio interrupt’ fixed it instantly.
should this be necessary though?

For any precise timing scheduler in audio interrupt is required.
