radial messages: bpm and master phasor

Michele Verità's icon

hi there, looking at radiaLfo i noticed that it syncs its waveforms not only to the master bpm but to a master phasor too..what's the name of this signal?..i would like to receive~ it inside my plug-ins..
and i would like to receive master bpm too (like dlaye does..)
i hope you can help me

From memory, as I don't have the patch open in front of me right now...

bpm is [r masterbpm]

A 4 beat phasor~ is at [receive~ psync]

Yeah - great idea - you should be able to fake host sync and transport for all pluggo plugs in radiaL this way. There are also some buffer~ names and ways of loading them too, I forget the exact names off the top of my head

loadbang

delay

pv(something)

I don't think you can.

No "tempo query" mechanism has been built.

I think you will just have to base the timing of your plugin on the psync phasor~.

All this stuff is totally unsupported, but if you can give me a really good reason to add something...

"dlaye" seems to be able to query bpm when you load it..do you know how..

Good thing data spaces are global in Max, huh?

having master phasor is fantastic! i get bangs from it at various beat divisions, good for doing a plenty of generative experiments

The phasor~ stops. Maybe you could use delta~
