This example is a simple precise timer generated in Ruby. Very useful if you want ticks generated with high timing accuracy.

Flowstone: Ruby Precision Timer

how i see it now: malc knows what we SM users want, so he develops it for flowstone first, since that's his main priority now, and once he got everything together, he is either gonna port it to SM and release an update for SM, or he is gonna make a new flowstone for audio software by porting all SM modules to flowstone and releasing it without the robot stuff. doing this would also get rid of the bad "Synthmaker" image and target a more commercially focussed user. by offering everything that SM lacked, which made SM seem "amateurish", it would be wise to change the name to get rid of that "amateurish" image. "synthmaker" also sounds like you just put premade parts together. i don't think that he would spend his time adding these things to flowstone, if it wasn't for the audio software makers.

How great is the precision on it- does anyone know? This sounds great 8D

OMG! The mythical tick1000 exists- and it use around 2% on my slow net lappy. tick10000 uses 17% of this i3 2.00 quad though. Still-sampling the stream at 1000hz is fine timing IMO. Who can hear 1000th of sec? Can't wait to get this module.
edit-after trigger blocking: tick 44100 use 20%

It is sample accurate.

How accurate does a sequencer need to be? Lots of 80s bands use old MIDI sequencers of 96PPQ or so. I never felt I had to throw away my Level 42 CDs due to not enough MIDI resolution in their songs!

an audio sequencer needs to be accurate regarding its time resolution in a way that the differences between its ticks is small enough to be percepted as stable by humans listening to sound events generated by it. the perception of stability is arguable, since it also depends on feelings and rythm training.

I think 96PPQ is ok. The Korg M3 has 360PPQ. For those of us who cant resist micro-editing our every midi note I suppose it helps make less work ... but I need to train myself not to do that so I can actually finish some tracks.

For breakbeats/ granular synthesis I think it`s vital to be sample accurate. But i agree tunes are much less delicate. Im waiting for the day 32 bits midi becomes the standard in controllers, and overhauling the midi note conversion to audio rate is the best thing I did in decades.
But still kinda hoping that would be the day. Since flowstone is a lot more expensive now, I hope the price of sm3 will be good.

Hmmm, I have never seen reviews of ANY music that said, "Gezz, that would have been a hit if they used something tnan 96PPQ!"
I 100% agree with the MIDI2.0/controllers-over-Ethernet protocol being fully supported. But it seems it MIDI is like VST2.4; not bad, but good enough few are going above that.

Still dedicated IC`s have the edge on acuraccy. Opposed to Windows could make it happen but kinda throwing it on some pile and telling you your deadlines are unrealistic.

dedicated ics dont have edge on accuracy, but on latency.
