Hi All,

I’m trying to create a music game on the vive that uses loops set to 140. then the player uses gestures to create a melody over the top.

At the moment I’ve divided the scale into separate events that are linked to the Y axis and trigger like a stepped theremin.  
My question is how do i quantise these triggered notes to the tempo of the loop. If they are all set to be quantised to an 8th note in Fmod, will unity recognise that? or would i have to get unity to be the ‘global clock’

Thanks for your time all!

Using [timeline callbacks](http://www.fmod.org/documentation#content/generated/engine_new_unity/script_example_timeline.html) you can fire of events at your will. Eg. if the eighth bar is hit.  
This then relies on having the events setup with a tempo marker in FMOD Studio.
