Re: Midi Clock

OMG- this sounds so cool- I must try these ideas- here is a quote from LD
website- Thanks Kim.

"Tap Tempo with BeatSync

An interesting use of the BeatSync jack is as a means of setting loop
lengths that match a tempo. Just plug a momentary switch type of pedal in
the BeatSync jack. Set the Sync parameter to In. Tap the beat on the pedal.
You will see one of the green Sync LED's flash each time you tap. Press
Record to start recording the loop. The Echoplex will wait for the next 
beat
tap and then start recording. Continue tapping your beat. When you are done
recording, press the Record button again just prior to the last beat. When
you tap the last beat, the Echoplex will stop recording at that point. This
allows you to exactly match loops of variable length to the tempo you are
playing.

In a similar fashion, you can get tempo for your loops by plugging tempo
sources into the BeatSync jack like audio click tracks, the headphone out 
of
an electronic metronome, drum machine outputs, or triggers on an acoustic
drum."
