RE: Of percussion, Repeaters, and MIDI clocks

["Rainer Straschill" <rs@moinlabs.de>]

Hi Mark,

I'll list my personal experiences what works and what doesn't when syncing
to the Repeater. Note that all the devices mentioned work perfectly when
synced to a Quasimidi Sirius (techno workstation, my "drum machine"). I
didn't try any other clock sources.

Quasimidi Sirius        - perfect
TC D Two - perfect
TC FireworX - some slight clicks in delays sometimes
Roland VBass - massive clicks in all MIDI-synced effects all the time - 
it's
practically unsusable in this context
Sony HR-GP5 - perfect (delay is only MIDI-synced effect)

As I use a lot of the MIDI-synced stuff of my VBass, I can't use my 
repeater
for the MIDI clock source. This leaves (given the layout of my MIDI setup)
several (intelligent) possibilities: Sirius, VBass. Currently, I use the
Sirius, but this way, I can't tap the tempo by foot, so I'll experiment 
with
the VBass a little...anyway, I'd prefer using the Repeater as the clock
source, to make use of the fantastic varispeed effect...
