hallo again,

very busy preparing a close performance, and in the need of having a visual feedback of the current bar/tempo of ableton.

i would appreciate a lot any help on this, as i was able to do something taking a part of other project... but i don't know why, it goes slowly out of sync, in 5 minutes is like 2 beats out of sync,

i already turned on "slave clocks to midi" but my visual feedback still gets out of sync. attached the project. any ideas to make it really reliable??

thanks a lot in advance.

ahá! and how work stepswitch for instance to make this?? because i don't find any documentation or related post... would it make it more reliable?

my ableton midi clock out is already in "song" mode. but after 5-10 minutes there's a very visible retard from actual midi clock.

thanks for your answer.
dear softcore, thanks a lot for all your help, i am kind of super-busy this week preparing all my lemur for a performance, and i appreciate a lot your help. one last thing i can't solve myself: how to mute all outgoing midi when loading a patch??

i have in my computer several ableton tracks and instruments that get playing as i load my patch (which has to be loaded with ableton running for several reasons), and in case i have to load it on stage... it would be a mess.

how can i mute midi out on load??

thanks!!
ok. understood. will try to tell my sound technician to mute all before connecting!

i have a problem, not exactly related to this, but as i control my computer with lemur, sometimes i change to other app, when i come back, lemur looses wifi connection for about 30secs.!!

is there a way to connect more aggressively to daemon?? maybe it's better using the mac network midi connection?
i did a very easy workaround for last performance, in case anyone is interested in having a very reliable visual feedback of the current count in ableton live:

just create a pad object with 16 pads with 16 consecutive notes, then create a clip in ableton live with those 16 notes being sent to lemur. so lemur pads will track the current note/tempo/measurement along with live, no more lack of sync with the shity clock.
