I like this kind of thread. Its smart: you can do a short loop on the
Plex, the Vortex does one of the same lenght. Not so interesting. But
then you can multiply the one on the Plex and the Vortex continues
the same, thats how BeatSync is.
Ofcourse, it also would be interesting to be able to subdivide the
BeatSync output with the 8th/beat parameter...remember my
SubCycleSync idea, Kim?
As Kim said, BeatSync would be the most handy way to tap automatically.
I just tried it: my BeatSync pulse is too short for the Vortex. :-(
8ms is pretty short. I just increased it to 40ms and it worked!
Are there any arguments for the length of BeatSync?
Who uses this output for what?
I thought it could be a metronome like click. If I make it longer,
the sound turns audibly doubble, but its ugly anyway.
I think we should adapt the length to the necessity of aplications
like this. And since all switch inputs need some debounce function,
pulses need to be longer...

EDP does that too: It sends a NoteOn/velocity 64, immediately
followed by a NoteOn/velocity 0, each time the loop is back to its
startpoint (when the multiple dot flashes).
Probably the note is to short to do the trigger, since its of the
same lenth as the BeatSync out and probably your converter also
maintains this time.

yes, yes!
oops, Denis explained it all before me:

No, Sync does not influence that, ControlSource does, needs to be set
to NOTE, in this case.
