i want to record a loop, whilst also setting the tempo, start the transport at the end of the loop, and have the playback rate change according to tempo changes.

i will post my efforts, once i patch them down into small things, have tried using groove~ with some maths to recalculate the playback ratio on tempo change, and have tried using phasor~, translating ms to bbu or hz, but it doesnt listen to tempo changes when using certain translate formats. i have no problem working this out when the transport is running, but when its idle, i can record an initial loop, but cant figure out a decent way to follow the playback in relation to tempo. basically i am trying to build a basic version of Ableton lives looper to use stand alone in maxmsp 6.

examples to follow shortly.

thanks
ned.

I think you’d probably get more help if you made your patch clearer. I found it difficult to follow the flow of the patch. That aside here is a patch which does what you want. Uses play~ instead of groove~ because it can be run from a phasor~ locked to the transport. It’s set up to record one bar.
