I am trying to create a max4live device to play a single 16n note when a midi message is received.

The idea is to load this device on a midi-channel in Live, with a controller I send a single note (doesn't matter which note) and live reproduce only a sixteenth, then pause the Live transport. When another note is received, it continues playing for another single 16n.

The problem is that this patch plays "a little more" than a 16n before pause the transport.

I call "continue_playing" when note is received, and with a delay of 120 ticks (or 16n) I call "stop_playing". It seems that the delay is not perfectly 120 ticks, I don't know if is a kind of latency.

I can't understand what I am missing.

Function calls of the Live API don't provide accurate timing.

This is by design (running on low priority thread).

Thank you for your answer, I didn't know about that.

It seem there is no way to solve that accuracy problem, not in this way.

I am thinking if is possible to work with the single clip instead of the transport, using the function "move_playing_position" for example but I can't figure out how to do that.
