>I never knew about Lexicon's MPX-G2 and it's "JamMan" function. 20 sec of >delay time. Is it upgradable to more? More importantly, will it synch to >MIDI, like the JamMan? Steve, if you're reading this, can you hook the midi >in of the MPX into the midi out of a drum machine/sequencer and then try >to >start a new loop in time with the beat. If it works, the loop should end >itself... on the beat and whatever you played will no be in synch with the midi >source. If this works, let me know, it's very exciting news. I've not got a drum machine with MIDI at the moment, but have tried just sticking in a MIDI lead to see if the two are already working on the same channel... they aren't... My guess is that it'll be possible, I've just got to look up what the MIDI number is for the 'tap' button on the MPX, and set the JamMan to receive on the same... then I can set the two lengths the same, and just do interesting things with volume controls to stop my self recording the same thing on both machines... Michael Manring uses two JamMans live, and tracks things up - he does an amazing solo bass version of Spirits in a Material World where he puts a drum track down on one, then puts two loops side by side on the other one (using the first loop to set the length) and then switches between the two to get verse and chorus - great stuff. If you're not familiar with Michael, check out http://www.manthing.com and go see him live - it's an amazing experience... cheers Steve http://www.steve-lawson.co.uk - subscribe to my new mailing list here. steve@steve-lawson.co.uk "I know there's a balance, I see it every time I swing past." - John Mellencamp
