Foreseeing midinotes in m4l

[eskil_ms@hotmail.com]

I would like to make a m4l-midi instrument that lets me view incoming midi notes a second or so before it is actually played, so that you can actually on beforehand see what midinote will be played. Of course, it is possible to use the midi editor to view subsequent midi note events, but i am looking for something more GuitarHero-like. Can someone please help me look into the midi future? Thanks

I assume you mean prerecorded midi.

you would want to select all notes in the clip, get the notes, then display them in (or ahead of) time.

select_all_notes
get_selected_notes
(magic)

I do something like this in javascript for clipstep, but with straight up max, i can only tell you the theory

Yes, it can be with M4L using clip note operations.
Just decrease all note start times continuously (driven by metro), and if 0 trigger the note.

It is working. Thanks for the advice!

Cool!

I'm curious about the actual performance. Do you have any issues with the timing of graphics/sound?
