Timestamps incoming midi

[gentleclockdivider]

Is there a way to get the actual timestamps between the incoming midi events ?
I would like to present these to showcase that certain hosts are imcapable of handling a fast midi input stream when sequenced from hardware , 32th notes , 64h note
So for that I would use architect as vst effect analyzing the incoming midi

If the transport is playing, you can use the [clock] module to do this. Record the clock at the time of the first event, and subtract this from the time of each succeeding event. The clock is in 1/960 quarter notes, so you can use that to work out the actual offset between events.

What do youmean by record the clock , just write to midi pool ?

Does something like this work for you? Its a macro that calculates and outputs the time difference between successive MIDI events. I've just tried it with Ableton Live and it seems to report the times correctly: 8th notes are 480 clocks apart, for example. (It was a quick solution, so you'll have to ignore the fact that it'll always output 0 as the the first value. It'll be trivial to filter that value out, if you so want.)
