as i can see, common method of getting things synced to main tempo is calculation from milliseconds, but this way is not accurate in long feedbacks [ especially when talked about delays ]. delayed sounds get offbeat after some minutes of infinite feedback. all delay based synced vst's ive tryed out get offsynced after some time. i feel sad that great programs like reason, live, reaktor and others simply dont focus on those simplistics that matter so much. maybe somes think its a little thing and probably doesnt matter but i dont think so, i would be so refreshing if we could build perfectly synced to master tempo synthesizers and effects.

is there a way to sync directly to tempo, without any [ approximate ] ms calculation

Well, first of all - every calculation based on time will be accurate, as time (or samples per time) is how music is shaped in the digital world. What you refer to is bpm I presume. Check out my module pack (in the examples forum). It holds a container with modules that calculate forth and back between time and tempo.

Do ask if you need help on that 🙂

I believe you could use the samplePos component to sync perfectly.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
