Whoaa, thanks hardoff, this works amazingly with some samples that I've changed the bpm on and quantitized in Live. My goal with this patch is to add some more effects (most likely some out of your DIY2 library) that can be controlled using [mousecontrol] (eventually I'd like to create touch interface using the DS screen and arduino, but that's for another time and another thread). I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks again for the patch!
