I posted a few weeks ago telling of a problem with Eric Singer's Seqplayer MIDI file player, which seems to miss beats in response to Goto's etc.

Unfortunately no one replied, and I have still not figured it out.

I thought that it might be easier if I posted an example patch which demonstrates the transport logic I have been trying to implement and hopefully displays the problem There is a brief textual description of the problem inside the patch.

Hi,

Any ideas?


seqplayer-still-missing-beats

I've been recently digging into the Seqplayer as well, and ran into the same problem.

The best explanation was in the readme in the help patch:

"Looping works by jumping to the start bar/beat when the end bar/beat is reached. The jump occurs on a bang. Note that if the end bar/beat does not fall on a bang, then the jump will occur on the first bang after the end bar/beat is reached."

So it's a matter of being careful about when exactly you skip to the next loop (had best luck triggering on the and of 2 or 4 with 4-bar phrases).

What's frustrating me is getting it to work with compound time (12/8)

Sorry for the delay- I have not been doing this for a while, but now wish to crack it. So, by

...do you mean that you could get quasi-random access on those 'ands', but it did not work consistently in other parts of the bar? What bang resolution were you set to?

I am after total random access, at least to a small note value's resolution.

For your thing, if I could make it work properly overall, I would try to deal with 12/8 by thinking of it as triplets in 4/4, and setting bangsperqn to 3, ie each triplet 1/8...

...oh, and which version of Seqplayer are you on? I am running 2.2 on Intel, 10.5.6. I wonder if it might work properly in an older incarnation....

I have also just found this great stuff from Adam Murray...
