Hi,

I have been trying to create a sample accurate timer (i.e. will always increase by 1 each sample). I've tried using phasor~ and vline~ but they seem to hiccup on the occasional sample which is unacceptable for what I'm trying to do. Do any of you know a solution?

Many thanks

Ben

What kind of "hiccups"? [phasor~] and [vline~] are the ones I would use. You could try [rpole~ 1], but the [clear( message won't give you a sample-accurate reset.

hello, have a look at cyclone's [count~] object.

Thanks I've just realised my error, I multiplied th output of phasor by 44100, but I should have multiplied it by 44099. Thanks for bringing the count object to my attention though, I think I will probably use that instead.

Thanks

The "hiccups" were that it would occasionally skip a sample, actually I've just tried multiplying the phasor output by 44099 and it has the same problem- it occasionally plays the same sample twice. I'm going to use count~ I think.

Thanks for your help

if you're trying to run pd control messages at sample accuracy it may not / probably won't work, as in my experience, control messages are not always scheduled with such accuracy.

maybe you could post your patch, that would make things a bit easier.
