metro @active 1 non working with Live's transport ?

[madlab]

Thought I had already used that but in my last patching session, couldn't get this to work. Anyone ? (Live 9.1.1 and Max 6.1.4).

[stringtapper]

Don't know, but why not Max 6.1.6?

[madlab]

Because many people reported problems with this version. Do you mean @active 1 works in 6.1.6 ?

[stringtapper]

Hmm I frequent this forum and the Max forum and I haven't seen "many" reports, but anyway…

Yes, @active 1 is working here.

6.1.6 / 10.9.1

Keep in mind that for syncing to transport you need to set a tempo-relative attribute, eg. [metro 4n @active 1].

[stringtapper]

That's right. Also I'm reminded of the (apparently undocumented?) @quantize attribute, which is the only way I've been able to get a reliable sync with Live's transport. I guess it acts a retrigger for the metro whenever transport is stopped and started?

So [metro 4n @quantize 4n @active 1] is what I do.

Never got that '@quantize 4n' neither.

Confirmed. The quantize attribute seems essential for perfect sync.
It can be found in factory devices, but not really explained in the documentation.
