Vedr. RE: Vedr. Re: lap top sync with the hardware looper

Thanks !

 

I am into this Norwegian guitarist Eivind Aarset, and have seen him live a lot. His drummer plays loops on a mac along with his drumming. And Aarset makes loops and themes on the repeater. I have seen his rig, and I havent seen any midi connections.

 

One explaination can be that he has the repeater on beat detect, and that he uses sort loops and themes, for a brief time, before making new ones, and then he`ll have no problems with things getting out of sync. I have tryied this but when I uses delay, the repeater misscalculate the bpm, and ruins the effect of the delay.

 

Thanks for your answer.

This is normal, the BPM's are not actually the same.  They may both
claim to be 120 but one will actually be something like 120.0247 and
the other 120.0963.  Over time they will eventually drift.  They would
have to be physically connected in some way to maintain identical
tempos, similar to  " word clock "   with audio interfaces.

 

Connecting them with MIDI does not actually make their clocks
run at exactly the same tempo, but it provides a point of
reference so that the slave can detect when it is drifting
and make a correction.
