sorry if missing something obvious but just been trying to set up some stuff with a metro synced to the main transport and it always misses the first bang when I hit play - this is the same in the tutorial patches "building MIDI generators"
or is this what's meant to be happening?
thanks

another way of writing this is metro 8n @quantize 8n @active 1

Then you don't need the loadbang.

I guess what's going on here is that the first thing which happens is that transport moves off the point 1.1.1, or the start point, so it doesn't fire. I see I can get mixed results if I turn off the quantize.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, it might be. Thanks for the report, we'll have a look at it and I'll get back to you.

OK, this is something we're looking at.
