I'm looking for the best way to run two different metro objects in sync with two different time signatures 4/4 and 3/4. Is there a better way of doing it other than what I have done in my patch? I'm looking to build a simple polyrhythm sequencer and I am not sure if this is the best place to start.

Will the two metros stay in sync if I start them at the same time, or is there a way of syncing them?

Do you know about the global transport? Having two metros running independently of each other as you have here is bad practice, as you will get drift.

If you have to use metros then either use only one and have it driving any other messages in your patch, or sync them to the global transport. With the global transport you can use tempo relative values too.

(someone else will probably provide a patch doing what you need, i dont have max on this computer)

Thanks goodparleyandorfing. I thought there might be some drift, but not quite sure. I will link them to the global transport.

I wasn't quite sure how to have two different time signatures if I used global transport as the time sig is set within the global transport.

Two metros, different timing question
