How to program a real-time accurate audio sequencer on the iphone?

Question

I want to program a simple audio sequencer on the iphone but I can\'t get accurate timing. The last days I tried all possible audio techniques on the iphone, starting from Audio

Answer 1

I thought a better approach for the time management would be to have a bpm setting (120, for example), and go off of that instead. Measurements of minutes and seconds are near useless when writing/making music / music applications.

If you look at any sequencing app, they all go by beats instead of time. On the opposite side of things, if you look at a waveform editor, it uses minutes and seconds.

I'm not sure of the best way to implement this code-wise by any means, but I think this approach will save you a lot of headaches down the road.
