Re: MIDI LOOP SYNCING: 3 questions

["L.A. Angulo" <labaloops@yahoo.com>]

Hey Rick!

ive done both live slaving the EDP to my mpc1000 sampler( i can send u some mp3s or a video of the "musica optica" show i did lat year where we composed music spontaneously to images at a cinema,and a little improv i did with a drummer.

i use to use the EDP as the master when i had my first drum machime (bossdr.660 which u can preview in my CD) both work great depending how u want to use it,the only bad experience ive had with this is slaving 2 EDPs in stereo!

cheers

Luis
