How to drive live.step?
Nov 01 2016 | 1:35 pm
I'm trying to get some definitive info on how to drive (the timing of) a live.step object, in sync to a tempo. There seem to be two methods - using a metro (with a time-value argument) and a counter, or using a transport object. I presume the latter is more likely to give more accurate/sophisticated sync, but I seem to be getting less reliable timing with it.
I also suspect it relies on named transport objects - I'm running 16 of these, which ideally I want to have in bpatchers all pointing at the same abstraction (for ease of editing). As far as I can tell, without naming transport objects they don't 'autoname', and do interfere with each other.
I'm also trying to keep things as lean as possible - as well as the 16 sequencers I've got a whole load more patch going on as well and things are getting a bit sticky.
I realise this is a slightly vague question, but I suppose what I'm asking is - does anyone have any good, simple examples of the live.step object being used, preferably in multiple instances? I'm finding the help file slightly lacking on this and haven't been able to find much else.
Thanks!
