Re: MIDI synch multiple loopers/samplers?



Thanks Per

I just have to invest the time into actually playing around with my gear 
enough to be able to get what I want and know what I'm doing to get there.

Not me... :-) Any more.

I have done it, sort of, in the past. Not for layering though, since
sync between devices didn't lock up well. In the slave sync position I
used a multi track looper (Electrixpro Repeater) and since it offered
four parallel mono tracks per loop I used that device for laying down
stuff that I wanted to go tight together, even though I time-shifted
tracks etc inside the box. The Repeater was constantly busy to follow
MIDI Clock signal coming from my main looper, an EDP. So whenever I
changed tempo in the EDP the slave looper fell into an epileptic time
loops and rubber-band-repelled back into a non defined range hovering
around the correct tempo. The EDP though was rock solid so I used that
one for layering parts that need to sit tight with rhythm.

I think this approach is good to use with all MIDI Clo
