It does continuously sync to midi clock, if you have Sync = In. You should see the far right decimal point flash on the display with each cycle when midi clock is present, and when the loop syncs it will also flash the second-from-the-right decimal point. Are you sure it's not cakewalk that's causing the problem? Some PC/sequencer combos are horribly inaccurate with clock timing. Also, make sure cakewalk is actually sending clock. (the dot flashing on the plex is a reasonable way to check.) The echoplex is pretty tolerant of drift, and will still try to sync even when the clock has changed by several BPM. >would i >be better off by sending a click to the edp's brothersync? if so, what >types of sounds work best for this? I think you are much better off with midi, even more precise actually, since the echoplex checks midi slightly more often. If you want to do this though, you would actually send the sound to the BeatSync jack, not brother. Any click or sharp percussion type sound would be fine. 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
