The echoplex doesn't "free sync" actually. It re-syncs to the midi clock each time through the loop. If it did free sync, it would definitely drift away from the midi clock. I think the manual has an error on that point. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
