obvious, even on the same machine a "current" time tag always has a slight negative delay, whereas an "immediate" time tag is always exactly zero. That leaves the slight problem of a "future" message that arrives exactly on time... Martin
Wow, nice work! That sounds like it'll be quite easy to use timetags now. Is there anyway to generate timetags with Pd yet?
Well, packOSC does that when you open a bundle, you can also specify an offset. Is there a need for actual raw timetags? I started an external to generate them as a list of four floats (64 bits split into four 16-bit numbers). Then I realized it's easier to use millisecond delays since that's what pd is using, so unpackOSC just converts the received time tag into a millisecond delay relative to the current time. This could be altered easily by adding a constant at the outlet.

This sounds perfect actually, as long as you can set an time offset for sending messages.
