Hi Phil, I have a few questions for you:Are the JAMMANs MIDI connections connected in series or in parallel? If they are in series have you tried reversing the order of the two to see if the symptom changes? When the JAMMANs are set up in series the first machine will provide a master clock to the second one which in turn will define the length of the loops. When the JAMMEN are set up this way a second tap command sent to the second(SLEVE) machine will be ignored because it already knows how long it's loop will be. I would be happy to help you sort this out. Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything that I can do for you.
