Did some searching around the forums and I'm having trouble finding recent advice about this.

I have rather long MIDI file I want to sequence with Max. Is there a way to sequence the file's playback with the global transport, as one might do using a DAW, so if I seek forward/backward, the playback will jump to the corresponding measure? Is this possible with [seq], [seq~], or [detonate] and if not, is there an external object or patch with which this might be accomplished?

seq-or-detonate-transport

In case anyone is interested, I found a workaround by using a text file coll to output notes. I used the ajm.miditocoll object (

http://compusition.com/software/maxmsp/ajm-objects)

 and am packing the play location info from the transport into a sprintf to match the index format of the miditocoll file (bars.beats.ticks). It outputs note, velocity, and duration from the coll into a makenote.

This would probably get annoying if I had several sequences to do though...so if anyone has any native workarounds that'd be cool to see.

[seq] or [detonate] + transport
