Best practice for timing (Audio thread)

[JROTTER]

In this thread:

Trying to create a little "Sequencer" notes play but do not end

Hahaha it works now. Seems you can only use sample counting for timing as long as you have an audio bus… How am I supposed to do timing on a plugin thats a midi effcet ? (which has no audio bus)

I try to do timing based on sample counting using for a mdidi plugin. By default this has no audio channels and so the buffer size seems to be 0.

This is a good example on why I am asking for best practice…
