Hi All

I am experiencing the standard problem with timmers not being accurate for midi triggers. I need to trigger midi events in a specific sequence all with in about 100ms. The green timmers are always drifting and cause wrong triggers.

I was wondering if it is possible to use a square wave osc at say 100hz to trigger a counter which would then send a trig to the midi buffer once its reached max. If i change the counter max i'm wondering if this could be used as a timmer ,

Can anyone shed any light on this please.

Sadly, in SM the only way to generate MIDI events is via green triggers. As you rightly noted, the green triggers are not sufficiently accurate for serious musical application. This is one of SM's fundamental limitations. 😠

Could i not generate the midi notes as normal but use the square/pulse osc as a pulse generator to trigger a counter which will the trigger the midi buffer trigger when it has counted to the max set limit , thus delaying the notes.

I presume that audio related systems in sm are more accurate and stable.

Im pretty much looking at making a pulse generator to counter.

Any Thoughts.
