What sort of timer should I use for my sequencer?

I've been calculating time by simply counting samples (each time I calculate a sample, I tick my time count forward) and dividing by sample rate. I suspect this isn't the best way. It seems to me that it would be better to have a sequencer running in in a separate thread from my audio generation code. NSTimer would be my first choice, but is not accurate enough for music. How can I set up a timer which is accurate enough for music?

thanks,

-Morgan
