Control a clock Starts and stops the passage of time for objects linked to a transport. If given a name, the transport object will control a time context of the given name, otherwise it will control Max's global 'internal' transport. The transport object reports time consistent with the time formats used in Max.

In right inlet: set the current position of the transport in ticks Set the current position of the transport Set the current position of the transport using a time unit. Open the GlobalTransport window Double-clicking on the transport object opens the GlobalTransport window. Causes a report of the current state of the transport to be sent to the Max Console. Causes a report of the current state of the transport to be sent to the Max Console. Report active clock sources Causes a list of active clock sources to be sent out the right outlet. Set this transport's time signature Set the time signature for this transport using two numbers. The default is 4 4. Timing source The current timing source for the transport. The default source is Max's internal clock but other timing sources may also be used. The name of this transport There can be multiple named transports running simultaneously. By default, a transport will be associated with Max's global transport. If a name is provided then a new transport is created with that name and can be referenced using this attribute. Advance on time signature change Toggles whether the bar/beat/unit counter advances to the beginning of the next measure when a time signature change is received. By default, this is disabled (0). Transport tempo Sets the tempo in beats-per-minute for this transport. Obtain the current time of a transport Note for Max For Live Users: Currently translating a beat time song position in Max for Live will only take the global tempo into account and might not be accurate when the Live set contains tempo changes. Out 1st outlet: When transport receives a bang, the current bar is sent out the first outlet.

Out 2nd outlet: When transport receives a bang, the current beat (within the bar) is sent out the second outlet.

Out 7th outlet: When transport receives a bang, the Transport State is sent out the seventh outlet. A value of 1 means that the transport is on, and a value of 0 means that the transport it off. Out 3rd outlet: When transport receives a bang, the units are sent out the third outlet.

Out 4th outlet: When transport receives a bang, the current resolution (ticks per beat) is sent out the fourth outlet.

Out 5th outlet: When transport receives a bang, the current tempo is sent out the fifth outlet.

Out 8th outlet: When transport receives a bang, the number if raw ticks is sent out the eighth outlet. Out 6th outlet: When transport receives a bang, the current time signature is sent out the sixth outlet.

Out 9th outlet: When the message getclocksources is sent to transport, a list of active clock sources is sent out the right outlet.
