Trigger a message constantly

Post by Bornd Fono » Wed Jul 05, 2023 5:26 am

I would like to constantly (like every 0.5 secs) trigger the message "get tempo" to have the box where this message outputs to being always up date and showing the current global BPM value... is this possible?

I could not find a way to do this yet... but I am an absolute beginner with M4L, so this does not say much :D

Thanks to everybody helping me out with this!

Sounds like you’d better use an observer.

look at [metro] or [plugsync~]
copy the text, open Live > drag in empty M4L device > open Max editor > paste > save M4L device
