If you want real signal tightness you have to stay entirely in MSP. Triggering your samples with bangs will introduce a jitter. One way to accomplished this is to store your sequence in buffers using peek~ and recall them with index~.

did you look @ the subpatch ullrich?

yes, I did. You are using edge to convert your audio impulse to a bang. That means that you are leaving the msp world, what makes all your effort useless.

Something like this should do the trick:

or use play~:

cool :-)! but I was sharing for people to use with Midi based triggers and UI stuff. I like your little twist in the 2nd patch very useful.

on a side note Testing things around this morning I found how different Max6's Audio Status behaves very differently to Max 5's. I.e. Audio interrupt really does interrupt the signal. And the signal I/O vector really do affect the behavior in comparison to Max 5.

tried both in max 32bit and 64 bit. Then when put into a bpatcher there was even a different behaviour there :-| !

DO you have any thoughts on this?
