How to implement sample-accurate timing?!

vvvv gamma question

Hi!

Beginner’s question: I’d like to build a step sequencer/synth. It needs to be timing-accurate and play back 16 different samples (WAV or similar). I have an integer for BPM, a list with 16 bars (columns), and 16 rows (samples). The samples should be played from row 1 to row 16, as in a step sequencer, if the number in the respective column is not 0. The number should determine the pitch. Unfortunately, my first attempts with the Audio Library have been disappointing in terms of timing. Do you have any general tips on the architecture?

Here’s my first attempt to play samples (not promising):

If i understand you correctly you were not too far off.
Be aware, the player currently will play all Samples on openning.
