Re: Request for EDP info (HELP!)

Thanks for the suggestion.  I tried the BrotherSync connection last night
and it solved many of the weird things I was seeing.

But it leads me to more questions:
1) How do you connect three echoplexes with BrotherSync?  Do you use a
stereo Y connector?
2) When connected via BrotherSync, the 8ths/beat parameter on either unit
does not seem to have an effect.  Sometimes I set this parameter 
differently
on the two units.  Is this possible with BrotherSync?
3) Should the MIDI-IN be connected to the MIDI-OUT when using BrotherSync?
If so, how is the master selected since Sync=out on both units when using
BrotherSync.  If not so, i.e., if MIDI isn't used, how does the 8ths/beat
affect the cycle times?
