Dear Forum,

EDITED

I tried a bit on [playhead] in plugdata in a plugin and ableton link [abl-link~] in standalone mode.

The difference is that both objects work either in the DAW or only outside the DAW. What is a good approach to start out time aligning pd to every spot of the DAW (or vice versa), IF possible at all?

In some videos I sometimes see a 64 element [hradio] representing 16th of a section, I guess, that are switched once finished. Besides I am thinking about a continuous counter marking bar numbers to trigger any patch kind of [% 4] a 4/4 time signature. But I am not too experienced here and understanding larger sequencer setups.

What is good?

Thank you very much!!
