Architect: pack note duration vs metronome timing

[jcgam]

How do I set the pack note object duration input to be proportional to the metronome interval?

For example if the metronome interval is set to 1 bar, what value would I use for duration to get a 1/8 note? My goal is to be able to vary the duration with a slider or knob, so a constant wouldn't work.

One way to do this is to create a macro containing a variety of tick constants, and then output one selected constant based on the position of a knob, and use this as the input to the pack note duration. If there's a better way please let me know.

I think that is probably the best way, as it's how I tend to do this; although if anyone has a better way, I'd love to hear it. My version basically has one constant array of all the tick durations, and then the slider sets the index for a [get element] module.

That's a better, more efficient idea, thanks. I haven't used [get element] yet, so this is a good opportunity to learn how to use it.

I'll post my macro if you struggle to get this working.
