Simple metronome device – how to?
Hi guys, I was really trying to create a simple metronome device that just syncs to Live and works like a normal metronome EXCEPT for the last beat that is supposed to be a little lower (frequency).
This is supposed to be for live sets that have "odd" time signatures (7/8, 9/4) so it is easier to count with.
------------------
Example:
1st beat: high pitch sound
2nd beat: middle pitch sound
3rd beat: middle pitch sound
4th beat: middle pitch sound
5th beat: low pitch sound
1st beat......
-------------------
I want to use plugsync~ instead of metro, here’s why.
I want NO UI, i want it to be automatic (choosing from the time signatures).
Can you please help me with making the device?
What have you got allready working ?
From plugsync~ help file it is easy to use time signature
and beat count, so what is your problem exactly ?
Sadly, nothing. I cannot figure out how to get the bang for the playlist and stuff like that
And then the if statement so it is universal for all time signatures
you can use select object with 1 and number of beats.
translated to plugsync
here 3 play~ objects refer to 3 buffers with 3 sounds loaded.
gate when not playing is there to prevent beat count output
otherwise scrolling in live's transport would drive you crazy.
--------
I'd prefer odd time signatures in fast tempo to rather have
2 2 3 or 3 2 2 accents set for 7/8 example.
