I am trying to synchronize the tapin tapout objects with the tempo object. So if I have a 110 bpm and a bar unity of 16, then I would like i.e. a delay of 1/32. I did this little patch (which include also a sequencer, it is from my work in progress) but it seems it is not working. Could somebody give me a hint?

Haven't looked at your patch but take a look at [transport] for syncing stuff, as well as [translate].

Yes thx, but I think my problem is about the understanding of the meaning of tapin and tapout:

tapin is the length of the 'recorded' part (in ms)

tapout is the time interval (in ms) before the 'recorded' part is played back.

So for example: if I have a rythm in 4/4, I want the delay to occur at 1/8. That means that if I have a bpm of 120 and a unit of 4 and 4 beats in the transport, if I want a delay to occur at 1/8, then, what should be the tapin value in ms? and the tapout in ms?

I agree that the transport object and the translate object will be helpful to you.

Example 28: Delay with tempo-relative timing

Example 21: Rhythmic delays in time with a musical tempo

The math is simple to do on your own, too. Divide 60000 (the number of milliseconds in a minute) by the tempo (beats per minute) to get the result (in milliseconds per beat). Divide that result by 2 to get milliseconds per half beat (eighth notes), etc.

These two examples might demonstrate.Example 28: Delay with tempo-relative timingExample 21: Rhythmic delays in time with a musical tempo

Elisabatti, your understanding of tapin/tapout, as explained in your last post, is not quite correct. [tapin] sets not the length of the recorded part, but rather the maximum limit - the actual 'recording' (actually delay) time is set by [tapout], and can not exceed the maximum as set by [tapin]. Essentially, [tapin] reserves the memory that [tapout] then uses. It's more involved than that, but that's a fair approximation for answering your query.

Yes, now everything is working fine...of course! My mind got stuck in stupid things (as always happens..)

Still, @Steven, the concept of tapin and tapout is not totally clear to me. As I figure it out is like from the first tape recording method. So the tapin is the buffer in ms I am going to copy and the tapout is the delay in ms (after how long this buffer will be played back). Is it correct in this way?
