live.observer values to coll, defer error

Strange, but that worked :) Thanks! Could you maybe explain why this method works and mine didn't?

Apparently, a patch can only observe one parameter/object at the time? Only the right [coll] gets filled during Ableton playback.

The patch i posted was just to point to mistakes : 1- using too many live.objects to form one id for one live observer 2- avoid using live objects when possible, like taking play position from plugsync~ instead of get current_song_time, triggered from 3 sources

3- metro 100 banging property value makes no sense, live.observer outputs something when either object it observes changes, or it's value, and not otherwise sending it repeatedly property value produces nothing. If you want to speed limit parameter capturing, then use speedlimit, if it is for creating some kind of automation, bang current output value of live observer at certain interval and capture either only if value changed or allways, by inserting change object or not 4- that complicated trigger, join - etc and so on There is no limit of observing only 1 parameter have look at this one, capturing at set interval and adding only changed values to coll :

fom initial patch you posted it is not actually clear how you want values to be captured --- P.S. maybe you could use this

Thanks so much! This patch is exactly what I meant.

1. Ok, damn, that last patch you send me does the job so much more efficient 🙈

2. I didn't know about plugsynth~, that's indeed what I needed.

3. Something more I learned.

Thanks for the effort of explaining, it taught me a lot :)
