Beat Divisions/Tempo/Note length Question

Hi

So i have got a row of messages each with a midi number in connected to makenote and noteout.

what i want to do is go from one message to the next playing each one at a certain tempo say 120bmp for example but have the ability to play each message/midinote at a different note length for example a whole note, then an eight note, half note, then a sixteenth note.

Iv tried a few variation with temp and metro but it just doesn't work, is there something in max i am missing

I have tried using speedily to change the bag and note length but that doesn't work

What you want is to use time value syntax with the makenote object. Instead of giving it a millisecond number give it 4n, which equals a quarter note or 16n for a sixteenth note.

See this link for a better description, scroll to the bottom of the page for what i'm trying to describe:

Ok i have implemented that but i guess the problem is the tempo that keeps the beat for the whole patch does not update with the rest of the music

Following your logic, here's one way to make your patch work.

So i think i have done it, this patch updates the beat division in the count as it goes keeping the whole patch in time, i think?
