Man you a genius! Solved a problem I didn’t even know how to begin to ask :rofl:

Thank you so much for sharing.

Yes that would be a brilliant idea

One thing i don’t understand is if i choose 5/4- 5 trigs with 1/4 signature why the master len calculated is 80? Shouldn’t be 40?

I’ll do some further testing. Could you let me know the exact settings you have used to get that outcome?

Track 1=5 trigs scale measure 1/4x

All other tracks stays to default

I think your calcs assume that you will have always 4 bars= hence 5/4= 5x4x4=80

Because 40 is not a multiple of 16 but 80 is. If you don’t care about other tracks you can set them to off in the calculator. (On its own 5 steps of 1/4 time will give 20 as master length)

@JSZ has the answer I believe: 20 as master length – which is also why there is an option for Off, so only selected track/lengths will be taken into consideration by the calculator.

Great it makes sense now

Thank you

No problem. Glad we figured it out. Enjoy using it!

Have updated the website/calculator to include the following machines:

This is a work in progress and not fully tested on all machines, so if anybody could give the new calculators a go, I’d appreciate feedback.

Additionally, have added the option of MIDI tracks (for machines which support it) and the OT has a Master Scale parameter (experimental, but seems to work).

Just been using this tool last night again while on an OT session and it has proven extremely useful. Thanks a LOT for your effort :pray:
Is there any way this tool could be made available offline? I tried copying/pasting the source code but to no avail… Any idea?

Super useful! Yesterday I was working out the LCM of 44 and 64. This is simple.

Recreating the app to work standalone (as a webpage), is doable, but would need to be rebuilt from scratch. I may do this at some point, no guarantee! First will need to add new machines: DT/DN mkii and TV. Although the longer lengths supported by these machines possibly makes this calculator redundant?

Hey thanks for your post :slight_smile: I was not hoping you would develop an entire app but rather was wondering if copying the source code from your html page could help :slight_smile: Will keep using it online for sure. Thanks again so much for this tool; it is priceless :pray:
