Delay incoming MIDI notes to be in sync with Ableton beats

I have incoming midi notes which are not in sync with the tempo/bars from Ableton.

I would like to delay the incoming midi notes so that they only play at for instance the next 16th or 8th note of the Ableton tempo/bar. Any solution or existing M4L midi effect for that? ps: I am not looking for a solution to sync the source with Ableton.

I am using Max 6.x.x but it would also be nice if the solution works on 7.x.x.

You could try the quantize attribute, e.g. [pipe 8n @quantize 8n].

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

I suggest using pipe with a delaytime of 0 ticks and a quantize time of whatever quantization value you want.

Hi Christopher and BROC, Thank you both for your reply. The pipe with quantize is indeed the solution. I checked and tested the max patch from Christopher and it is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you !
