Hi, Piero, There is a common class between them notifying each shred when they must
change their random parameters (for sequencing everything in the right compasses), but the class itself doesn't work if it has no instance controlling the time poll interval,
If I read it all corectly, this is the central problem, right? How about making one .CK file that defines this public class and includes a static a event. This file would also broadcasts this event from a looping shred (thast shred will probably also deal with incrementing a counter to keep track of what beat is the current one). All of the other files that you use would then wait for that event and as soon as it happens change their parameters (and start phrases or play beats or whatever). That's what I use and it works for me but your needs might be different. Making a event static in a public class is a bit tricky; it involves a temporary workaround using assignment. I could share some code but it would be way better if somebody could properly explain it who actually understands *how* the workaround works; I have to confess it's a bit hazy to me. And no; none of this sounds insane to me but I use ChucK so it might be wise to consult a profesional expert as well ;-). Kas.
