I would like to synchronize coll contents with the space bar playing.

How do you cope with the 5 ms limitation in the metro object ?

Do you have another methods to synchronize coll contents with users events ? (space bar)

By "synchronize coll contents with the space bar playing", I mean playing each event of the coll with space bar but the events are known. For example the event times could be the index of each line in the coll :

And then I play with space bar at the time I choose and it plays each event on my hits and it goes faster if I play faster, and slower if I play slower. (And it pauses if I don't play, waiting for a space bar hit)

100 ms : event a
200 ms : event b
450 ms : event a + b
etc.

you maybe better off using detonate for this application; you also need to articulate your problem better. is it more like this:

spacebar-> cue 1: [a series of timed events]-> finishes (does nothing, waits for spacebar)

spacebar->cue 2: [another different series of events ]-> finishes

I'm sure there's an easier way to do this, but I got stuck in this direction-- is something like this what you're after?

@Terry : It is close to what I am looking for. I'll try to explain the difference.

Here you have cues : 1 [list], 2 [list], etc. And each cue is launched by space bar, then it plays all the list, and then again with space bar.

What I need is delta time between expected cues and real play to refresh the progression in the cues. (With one cue one space bar hit)

Your work is great and quite close to what I'm after. If I change your list and I try for example:

The main difference is : if I play before the end of an event, in your patch it actually waits for the end and then go to the next one automatically. But I would like to press space bar and then it plays the next one (even if its not finished) and then tempo is increasing. (Maybe working with equal time intervalls first should be easier) and if I don't press space bar, it waits for me (as you actually did).

@Pizza Olives: Love your text events =) What is really good in your patch is that we have a list of expected events and I can break the sequence with space bar when I want. But it would be really great if (even if events are expected @ known times) the system would wait for my space bar pressing before going to the next event. I mean I would like to put something like tempo prediction in it.

Really great jobs, I think my solution is somewhere in between or uses both of your works and something else ^^

1 0 60;
2 300 65;
3 1200 61;
4 1600 62;
etc.
It's closer to what I expect.

Ps : @Pizza Olives : In fact 2 things added to your patch and its really great :

- the fact that the patch waits a little time for space bar hits. (or a long time)

- and the fact that when the sequence is launched, if I press for example 2 times or 3 more rapidly then the rest of the sequence will be speeded up too. (or slow down if I play slower). And all of this calculated from one event to one other. (I mean no tap tempo that calculates the mean on 3 or 4 hits).

OK I misunderstood your problem-- and I'm still not sure I understand it, but I am sure you could adapt either my patch or pizza's to suit your needs.

Yes Terry.
Thanks a lot for your help :)
Have a nice day
