If the jamman is sending midi clock, you should see some response on the 
display of the echoplex. (the display action depends on if it is LoopIII 
or 
LoopIV software, which you don't specify so I won't go into that.)

Once the Echoplex has clock, you just press record on the Echoplex and it 
forces the record lengths to match the length determined by the midi clock 
tempo and the 8ths/cycle parameter on the echoplex. After the loop is set 
it will continue to sync to the clock. all other functions work normally 
from there.

Note that LoopIV gives you much more flexibility over LoopIII by following 
the quantize setting for the records and such.
