Sync metro to Live

Pvdn's icon

I thought i had figured this out, but apparenty my metro is not synced at all. I currently use it with these arguments: metro 16n @active 1

But that doesnt seem to guarantee it will run exactly in sync (even when i reset Live's transport to the beginning and start it from there).

How do i set this up correctly?

"@quantize 16n" will help.

Thanks, that seems to work. But how does that quantize setting relate to also having an interval set on the metro?

The interval attribute sets the time between outputs; the quantize attribute quantizes (synchronizes) the outputs to the transport's grid.

hey, stupid question:
what does the "1" stand for in @active 1 ?

1 = on, 0 = off.
