Agreed on all fronts.

The reason i'm keen on having a master clock that's audio driven is because i also want to sync my step sequencer to looping audio buffers, playback with a phasor~

I see that this could also be done with with metro (i.e. trigger playback of the audio file)

performance, as in CPU performance? For sure you're gonna get much greater performance using just messages.

It's also MUCH simpler to sequence with a [metro] and messages, and very easy to do interesting things to a sequence.

compare that to something like this, in the link claude just shared:

what a mess!

I see what you mean about having a single master clock, but why not just have a single master clock that's based on [metro] and a counter? You can use that clock to trigger sub-clocks to whatever resolution you like, right down to subsample accuracy.
