I'm new to both this forum and to Max MSP in general. I've used it for a while now and I'm still struggling with some newbie stuff in particular this weird problem that I hope someone can be of assistance with.

I've created a fairly simple patch with a kick drum sound and a hihat sound. The kick is playing every four beats and the hihat 16ths. But a very curious problem is I can easily hear significant fluctuations in the timing and either the kick or hihat always being slightly offbeat. I'm running the latest version of Max MSP on a brand new 15" macbook pro with plenty of juice and it's only at around 10% cpu usage when I run this patch.

Does anyone know what the cause of this problem may be?

Switching on Overdrive Mode seems to help a bit but not enough to make the rhythm and timing tight, sadly.

Thank you very much in advance for any response! And if the people behind Max are reading this: Thanks for this amazing piece of software. Wow!

Try adding a ‘quantize‘ attribute to metro like [metro 4n @quantize 4n].

And the 'active' attribute can be used to start metro automatically in sync with transport.
