how can i sync up tabread4~ objects to start at the same time. I have managed to convert bpm to hz so that i can deal with loops in terms of tempo but I cannot get multiple tabreads to start reading from the start of the sample simultaniously. I do not have any externals appart from what came with the origingal bundle.

can someone help a guy out?

I'm not sure how to best explain this, but I'll give it a shot now, and I'll upoad a patch later today...

I'm sure you've got a "phasor~" which is driving the "tabread4", what you need to do is connect a "snapshot~" to the output of the "phasor~" which, when banged, captures the current value, then subtracts it from the output of the phasor. run that through an "abs~" and you'll be good.

(except abs~ might be in the zexy external.... but hey, you should get that anyhow.)

<<phasor~ X>>

| &#92; <bang>

| <<snapshot~ >>

<< -~ >>
|
<<abs~ >>

<<whatever...>

I hope that helps. ...and I may have the inputs to "snapshot~" switched, I can't remember exactly how that goes off the top of my head.

thanks, i'll give that a try

I've realized that my above response is slightly off, the "abs~", should be a "wrap~" sorry.

also, take a look at a basic looper I've made, it may help you out if you haven't figured it all out already...
