I have just been looking at the excellent tutorial 8 for max API and the method used for syncing a step sequencer is the "phasor~ @frequency 1 0 0 bars.beats.units @lock1" method.

I have been playing with a patch that reports the exact position in ticks to modify the tempo and the transport object seems to do this well, but would using the phasor~ option be a more accurate / more efficient way to sync to the live transport?

patch is below if anyone wants a poke around.

phasor~ vs transport for sync and control?
