how to synchornize 2 (or more) sequenzers.
apperently if they have the same !BPM, they run out of sync...

so i guess i have to trigger them via "gate" ?

thx.

Is it the exact same !BPM (or bpm expression) in both places? That is one way to ensure synch. Another way is, as you point out, to re-gate your sequencers at the start of each bar.

ok. just to clarify my understanding of time in kyma:
as soon as the sounds are compiled kyma starts all triggering events (like bpm, ..) simultaneously.
and there should occur no phase shifting....
right?

Yes, that's right.

However, if you are not using the same expressions everywhere to create the BPM, numerical errors can accumulate and cause a gradual drift of the beat. For example, using

(1 bpm: !BPM * 2) triggerEvery: 2

and

1 bpm: !BPM

will drift for certain BPMs (because the duration of a beat cannot be represented with infinite precision).
