right - but is a bit of a Frankenstein's monster of things bolted together, including a gen~ resurrection of the ancient grooveduck~ (if anyone remembers that?) written by Graham Wakefield. 

What it does - nearly does - is simple: it records a loop in time with the transport clock, starting and stopping the recording of the loop on the next 'downbeat',  using  a primed onebang.

BUT I can't figure out how to have it start playing from the start of the buffer as soon as the loop is done recording: there's always a pause.

It if was just a ~groove object, I'd send it a 0 message, but opening the gen~ object just baffles me  because there's no ~groove in there (and reminds me that I must get Graham's book and learn about gen~ properly)

In the meantime - can anyone help with the final step in this patch?

I am using a time-code display (metro + transport) with an external monitor to avoid the need for a click-track in a piece of mine. The output from the transport object is sent to a group of ints (bar number, beat, etc.) which update on each change, allowing the performers to follow along visually. Among other things, I use a panel covering the whole screen which should flash on every new measure. The problem is that, although the CPU is only running at around 20%, there is a huge lag on the elements of the time-code updating on the display, most notably when changing the bgcolor of the panel object (which seems to occur almost randomly). Everything else that is dependent upon the time-code for triggering is working fine... This led me to conclude that these types of display update messages are, by default, treated as low priority by Max. I can understand that in most cases, this would be a good idea, but given that I am using a time-code which has to be very precisely in time, I was wondering if anyone knew how to make this kind of process high priority? (...assuming that this is the cause of the problem.) I have searched for answers on here and elsewhere on the internet but to no avail. Help very much appreciated.

I like working with projects, using local abstractions and other local dependencies.

Now I want to create a global abstraction from the project itself to use it as a module in other patches.

I've been building a poly synth that supposed to incorprate both substractive synthesis and granular synthesis. Essentialy the idea is to have two synths running in parallel and then add them together to get a combination of both. The granular "voice" is based on Oliver Thurleys granular tutorial, but I've really been struggling to make it truly polyphonic, as the poly object he uses generates the actual cloud of the grains, rather than doing what it's "supposed to" by allowing the playing of chords. If anyone has any ideas on how to solve this please let me know!

I am writing a sampler and want to trim any relative silence from the beginning of the buffer~ object. This way the sample's attack will be in time with the sequencer. Does anyone know how to do this? The "silent" samples will not be zero but will be the baseline signal level from the guitar input, hence the word "relative".

I am getting pretty good with Max and Live's api but am useless for programming Msp.

When working with mc.groove~ with time stretch activated is it possible to pitch shift each channel individually? Or, is pitchshift global for all channels? I don’t see a way to address pitchshift per channel via messaging.

I wonder if it is possible to scale a bpatcher and it's UI (in presentation-mode) acording to the size of its parent patcher.

I am working on a standalone which has a kind of "menu structure". Depending where the user navigates to, the patcher reveals (makes visible) a bpatcher with textbuttons or other UI-Objects. I would like to have the bpatcher always fill the entire patcher-window and it's content (textbuttons) should be scaled accordingly when the user changes the windowsize. Is this somehow possible? Maybe a script? Or is it possible to change the Objects Presentation-Rectangles to relative values instead of absolute values?
