I'm wondering what the most effective way of getting a bang at every 16th note from my sequencer into Max/MSP ... or perhaps an arbitrary fraction of a beat.

I tried generating a bang at every "((beat-length-in-samples / 16) % current-sample) == 0" ... using hostsync~ as an input ... but it seems generate too many messages too quickly and I only get bangs when I pause it at just the right time.

I actually used the equivalent set of individual max objects for that expression, not "expr", if that makes any difference.

16th-note-or-greater-resolution-from-hostsync-or-other-means

No help? Is it obvious and I'm clueless or not so easy? :(

I'm sorry no one was hovering at the forums to answer your post within an hour. If you were in that much of a hurry, you could have checked the archives!

Here is an example using hostphasor~ that I have posted before. Oddly enough, the last guy who had this question wanted 16ths, so the code was alreay set up for that.

Hi Nick, thanks very much! I was trying to put something together that was signicantly less elegant than that (still kind of a n00b here) :D

I like using hostphasor~, rate~, and edge~. The help files should be enough.

the point you missed inn that max and/or pluggo can only

recieve sync signals where there exist some. :)

dividing a bar /16 works more or less but generally

when you want to have 128/32 bangs from a VST host

i would recommend you to set your VST hosts signature

to 128/32 and then you can take the "beats" from 

[plugsync~] in order to recieve 1/32 notes (without haveing

to wait one whole bar until the division delays work.)

16th note or greater resolution from hostsync~ (or other means)
