Real smooth EDP

["Gary Lehmann" <relayonemanband@cts.com>]

Hello time mongers,
I find that having a drum machine send the EDP MIDI clock and syncing our
loop monster (with quantize on) is an excellent way of knowing "where 1 
is".
Of course that takes some of the mystery out of it :=] but it makes
everything "smooth" (a lot like smooth jazz, I think--less risk, less
rewards).  Turn Timing/sync to "In".  BTW, this sure beats the Jamman 
setup,
where the looper wouldn't start without a clock pulse if you were set to
MIDI sync--the Jammer also divvied the loop up differently, such that you
had to make the loop a certain length to match the length of the drum
pattern.  Of course, for your purposes, you can just have an eighth note
pattern, like shaker or high hat, and have it turned down low, to take
advantage of the precision of the syncing.  It also helps to have a machine
with a tempo tap footswitch so you can set tempos quickly--I'm using the
SR-16.
Now go play!
