(ex.when the EDP reads 3.0 seconds the >repeater reads 161.3 BPM) Hi Louie- 8ths/cycle (or 8ths/beat as it used to be called on older units) is the number of 8th notes in a cycle on the Echoplex. This number is used to determine how the tempo of the midi clock relates to the length of your loop. So for example, if you set 8ths/cycle to 8, and record a 3.0 second loop, that means eight 8th notes occur during 3 seconds. This would be equal to 80 BPM, and that is the tempo of the midi clock that the Echoplex will send. Similarly, if you set 8ths/cycle to 16, your 3 second loop would correspond to 160 BPM. If the drum loop you have in your repeater is a 2 bar loop in 4/4 time, that is 16 eighth notes. If you set the 8th/cycle parameter to 16 and record a two bar loop on the Echoplex, the drum loop should play in time with your echoplex loop. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
