why does this make the transport stop?

Hi,

The objective of this patch is to have a metronome playing certain random rhythms in time, 16n, 8n, 32n, etc, and these rhythms are being allowed to pass only when a gate object lets them pass.

But for some reason I can’t figure out, when i start the transport it stops after awhile. Just curious if anyone has an idea as to why this is happening. Thank you in advance for any possible input.

Hello nicnut,

it seems when setting the third [metro] with speed higher than 64n, it stops the second [metro] ; (on my macbook os X.4.11, max 5.1.6).

maybe it’s a bug ?

Actually if you look at the notevalues syntax, you’ll see that 64nt is not valid, so it’s converted to 0 ms. Which is probably something that you’d like to avoid ;-)

Hello Emmanuel Jourdan,

“… converted to 0 ms.”

I am surprised that [metro] do that instead of ignoring bad values or just clipping them ; but i understand now why it freezed max after connected a [print] to the [metro] outlet ; only way was to kill max from the terminal ;-)
