The other possibly related bug is that when playback speed is half (the signal of 0.5), 'groove~' plays only the half of the buffer content.

Also, I wish 'groove~' does not loop its buffer content when it is set to '@loop 0 @lock 1'.

Have you checked that you have to set the loop points in bbu's while in @lock 1 ? You should also check out the phase message. When groove~ is in @lock 1, the cursor has to change position in order to stick to the position of the global transport.

Thanks a lot Sjoerd. No I'm afraid I haven't. Could you elaborate a bit more about 'set loop points in bbu’s'? Can the phase message be used to flip the play position? Not sure how to deal with the unit of '10 atoms' of the phase message.

You could check out the 'lock' menu in the groove~ helpfile. Phase is explained pretty well there. With bbu's I mean '1 0 0' is one bar. I found the 'translate' object very useful for calculating different units of time.

Sometimes you have to send the 'reset' message to groove~ in order to reset all the settings (originallength, originaltempo etc), I found out that I have to send 'reset' at least 5 times after another in order to really reset all the parameters.

Thanks again. I was looking at the helpfile, but I could not figure out the unit used for the phase message. I can send 'phase 100', but not sure 100 of what unit.

@MASA I can not reproduce the behaviour you seams to have. I never had 1/2 the buffer played, nor jump while changing speed. Could you stage the steps you go through to have this behaviour?

Hi Musinou. Did you have a chance to try the patch above? When the groove~ is linked to a transport and @lock is enabled, you should see the behaviour. Thank you, Masa

@Masa Yes, I tried your patch.

- Turn audio on - Turn loop, lock and transport on - Play around with the top red num box - Play around with the num box under the [loadmess 70]

no jump, no 1/2 buffer

Sure.

Please change the top numbox from 0.1 to -0.1, and see if the buffer position jumps.

For 1/2 buffer, I realised the pasted patcher is designed to avoid the issue by using transport BPM.

Please try the following one.

What would you like to achieve exactly? Groove~ does things completely different when in @lock 1 and @followglobaltempo 1. My experience is leave sig~ at 1 when followglobaltempo is set on 1. Play with the originallength in combination with pitch, this will mangel with the playback speed and pitch.

If you don't want groove~ to loop, you have to set followglobaltempo on 0 as well.

Good luck!

Hi Sjoerd,

What I am trying to achieve is: - Being able to sync and manipulate multiple groove~ via a master transport - Being able to manipulate each transport independently - Being able to manipulate the speed and the pitch of each groove~

I have come very close to what I want by flipping the bar location of a relevant transport when sending '-1' signal to the related groove~. The downside is that it is not very accurate obviously (only having bar accuracy).
