Im pretty new to Jitter and wanted to make a simple strobe effect with a variable rate. I put together this simple patch but it does crash a lot! It might be my machine although its a fairly new MB Pro so I doubt it.

I was wondering if there is a better - more efficient way to do this, or am I picking up bad habits?

Here an example using open-gl and the erase_color attribute. Should be a bit more efficient:

yeah, I was trying to conform to his format, dims and such.

like always in Max, the solution totally depends on what you will need it for at the end. I just wanted to point to another possible door to walk through....

I've been trying to create a simple strobe effect for jitter and came across your thread here.

I've take parts from a few your patches and combined to make this:

What I need my patch to do, is to be able to sync a flash/strobe effect with the bpm of a song, which will be tapped in through the button labelled Tap.

This patch does achieve this at the moment, but only half the time as it's only every second tap that creates the flash, and I need it to flash on every beat/tap. I think this is something to do with setall turning the flashes on and then off?

Any help will be massively appreciated! Thank you!
