I

I
see
that
seq
has
a
'goto'

with
seconds

if
I
fed
that
with

would
the

play <br>>in

loops?<br>><br><br>There's
the
[mrpeach/midifile]
object.
You
feed
it
ticks
from
a
[metro]
to <br>advance
through
the
file
and
can
jump
to
any
tick
in
the
file.
It
can
also <br>dump
the
file
so
you
can
find
the
tick
number
to
go
to.
It
doesn't
know <br>about
seconds
but
you
can
tune
the
speed
very
finely.
I
have
had
it
running <br>in
sync
with
the
Hydrogen
drum
machine
for
hours
at
a
time.<br><br>Martin<br><br><br></div><br></div></div><br>
