Re: Echo Pro question/problem



Hi Mark,

I've sorted it out (or at lleast the main issue) and it was a system setup
thing - I'll explain it briefly for other Echo Pro users. The first thing 
that
I did when I unpacked it was set it up in the MIDI/System menu - MIDI 
channel,
clock, bypass mode etc. The problem that I had (of only hearing the loop
delays
when the loop was playing) seems to be with the "Mix Mode" parameter: I'd 
set
it to "loop" because I'm using the EP from an aux send of my desk so I 
always
want only wet signal through it. As soon as I changed this to "global", the
looper's internal delay started to work with all material going through the
looper. This is OK coz I can always keep the mix control set to wet. 

I do still have a question about the note values of the looper's delay 
though
when set to MIDI clock sync, mine is syncing but it seems like its set to a
triplet setting which can be quite nice but not what one would always 
want!.
Any tips on setting note res in the looper coz the button to do it is used 
for
the "play" control, maybe with a MIDI message?
Thanks. 
Ian.
