I'm trying to do a very simple thing. I would like to send zero's to a few macro controles on devices. But exactly on the start of a beat. So when i have lots of buttons set to something the will be simultaneously reset.

I tried a few ways. (using a phasor~ @frequency 1 0 0 bars.beats.units @lock 1, using a metro and transport, using a fire clip event) but for some reason the controllers are always late. My guess is that the sending of the controller has a low priority. Does anyone know a workaround for this?

followed by the effective number you can send to them, don't know if it helps:

This sends a 0 to controllers 1, 2, 3...

You can avoid the delay problem by triggering reset on each *stop*.

For this I'm using a simple global device in my Live sets.

Thank you very much for your responses. But I think i wasn't completely clear on my question. What i would like to do is this:

when i'm mixing on stage i like to use as much controllers as i can. but i also would like to set them all back to 0 with one button. When i do this, i would like the parameters to be reset exactly on (or a micro sec before) the first beat. This way the reset creates a nice beatdrop.

i managed to create the part to reset all these parameters but they are always receiving the 0 with a latency. So i dont know how to trigger the 0's so that they will be exactly on the first beat.

@broc, did i get it right that your patch resets the parameter when the song stops? In my case the sequencer keeps on running so unfortunately this wouldn't work for me.... :(

So you could still try to minimize the delay by calculating the parameter IDs in advance and storing them in a [coll] object. The reset trigger would then use the known IDs and execute in a few milliseconds. This delay can possibly be compensated more or less by triggering the reset some ticks before the first beat.

Anyway, there is no perfect solution I guess.
