Problems with two patches on

tejan's icon

I have two separate patches running at the same time. I have a few problems.

  1. When I want to change the metro from one note value (2n, 4nt, 8nd, etc) to any other note value in either patch, I have to turn the toggle on and off for the change to occur. Why is this happening and how can I stop it? Shouldn't the bangs be changing automatically?

  2. When I turn the toggle off (the same one I have to turn off and then on for the metro to be updated), it stops both patches, instead of just the one I am turning off. Why are they connected and how can I stop this? Is this due to the global transport?

    Thank you! Below is how the toggle/ metro bang/ and note value mechanism looks like for extra information (I feel there is a more efficient way to make a note interval selector, is there?)

You're overthinking it:

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

For notevalue notation to work, you need to get the global transport running as well.

1- remove switch and metro 2 and simply select note value.

2- if you want freedom to control metro speed independently

don't use global transport or transport at all

few options are :

  • named transport for each patch

  • calculate metro interval using math tempo/ticks to ms
