Is there no easier way? > one simple trick.... set up an empty pattern in the drum machine. start that playing. It will send out midi clock at the right tempo but no sound. (or you could use an alternate output to send out a click to headphones or something.) Somewhere in the middle of your pattern tell the drum machine to go to the pattern you want to play. If it is like most drum machines, it will wait until the end of the blank pattern before it jumps. Press Record on the echoplex before that happens. This will "arm" the echoplex, so it waits for the next measure boundary to start recording. Then the drum machine will switch to a real pattern at the same time that the echoplex starts recording, as you want. make sure the echoplex is set to sync=in, the midi out of the drum machine is connected to the midi in of the echoplex, and the drum machine is set to transmit midi clock. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
