setclock and pipe

Cycling '74's icon

hi,

i'm not sure if i understand how setclock and pipe work together

look at this patch.

it's my understanding that when you hit the top button, nothing should happen on the bottom button.

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

but I see the bottom button flash.

is this correct?

Seems to me that there is a problem with the setclock object. I can't get the helpfile to work!

it appears that pipe does not respect the chosen clock source. Thanks for the report.

I would highly recommend looking in to using the new timing objects. You might get into transport and timepoints.

Looks like and old thread but I have a related question. I am making a set of my own objects that participate in the setclock/clock timing scheme. They will function in every way like their normal equivalents except that the "clock" message will be built in. To sync them all, I will send the clock name from the main patch via "send ChooseMasterClock" to a receive object within all of my new patchers. For the moment, I am using pipe, line, metro and makenote. These are all working. I am wondering if there is a list somewhere of all the standard externals that respond to the clock message.
