Yes, its easy There are 4 beats in a bar (well, in 4/4 music) so 60 seconds / 120 BPM means there is 1/2 second per beat therefore there are 4 * 1/2 = 2 seconds per bar in short: bar time = 240 --- bpm I probably didn't explain that very well, but I expect someone will post a better explanation. Your triggered record thing sounds like a useful feature for TimeMachine (http://plugin.org.uk/timemachine/) if I find time. It should be easy. - Steve
