Hey everyone, I am new to both the Max program and forums, and was looking for a method to quantize start/end changes in sample playback. I have a sample that is 3600 seconds long (4/4 at 900ms per beat, 66bpm). I want to be able to change the start/end times, but in sync with the beat. I know, I could just count and make the changes accurately, but I figure that if it's digital, there must be a way to make it perfect. Plus in the future, it would be handy to be able to make a tempo change a couple beats before you want the change to take place if you are controlling multiple patches in a live setting.

So, currently I am using either select 0 or 127 w/ midi buttons as ctlin to change the start/end time. I thought about using int to store the numbers and then a metro at 900 to send the info at a quantized time, but the problem is the bang from the metro sends ALL the int's at once, so nothing actually changes. I am looking to send bangs only to ints that have changed. Any suggestions?

For those who might be interested, I was able to use switches in combination with select/metro 900 to make sure the start/end changes take place on a quarter note every time. However, you have to hit each end/start change twice, once to initiate the change, and once to turn off the change so that the other change can take place. Here's the patch:
