excellent also. I'll see what todd wants to do. I dont' know if the other product suggest is smoke/mirrors for our app or if it's real expensive but if he goes with the edp I'll keep this advise around.

We'll get back to it soon and try this while I have the units here in any case. -Bob Kim Flint wrote: > At 02:10 AM 1/5/2007, Bob Weigel wrote: > >> I need to get this setup finished for a client who wants to run 8 >> echoplexes with 4 stereo sync'd channels basically. >> >> I think what is happening is..we're going to need some midi filtering >> unless there is some way I'm missing to internally filter the start >> recording messages :-).
