I suppose anything is possible with MIDI and a MIDI junction (grand central station) box of some sort. > Kris, I don't understand your constant implications that "sync" would >be > something statical or mechanical in musicianship.

[cut] I think we are just talking about different things here. I'm talking more about using sync to quantize what we play and force it into a meter, or making it easier for multiple people to play in meter, or to a pre-set pattern. I do understand that regardless of there being a meter in place, you can nonetheless do what you want...I do it frequently in jazz. I guess I'm speaking more of meter syncing when that function alters what we originally play. It basically comes down to control for me....I'm a conrol freak. :) I like to control the flow of music myself, so a constant meter in the background, even if I can play outside of it would serve no purpose for me, unless I want it to change what I play (whic isn't the case). Sorry for the confusion. I probably never explained myself on this one that well. K-
