hi,

i'm using IAC bus 1 to send midi between live 6 and pd, on mac OS10.3.9.
Does anyone know how to get midi clock into pd in this situation? There
doesn't seem to be a [clockin] object of such, and there's no rewire in
pd, right?

One way i've kind of botched it together is by having ableton play a 1
bar loop consiting of alternating middle Cs (note 60) and C#s (note 61),
then using [timer] to measure the time between these two notes, and
using that to set the speed of [metro].

one problem i've found is that, all other things being equal, at 120bpm,
the [timer] object should measure 500ms, right? but it doesn't, it jumps
around between about 490 and 510. anyone know why this is? i tried
using [realtime] instead of [timer], but it was the same (ish). anyone
know a better/more elegant way of getting tempo?

thanks

stephen
