Re: Burned by Oberheim EDP... Luis

hi Luis,
that's exactly the kind of device I had in mind.
I have one by Philip Rees which does the same job, 
...or would if I could find it.

I can't guarantee it'll make a big difference, I haven't tried it, and
anyway my edps haven't de-synced for quite a while now using the normal 
system. (if they go bad again, I'll be able to test)
...but the edp processes audio in small blocks, and starting both edps 
at the exact same time hopefully synchronises the block boundaries.

Incidently,
My technique for re-syncing( which can be done quite quickly) is
to change the Slave EDP to sync=In, remove the bro-sync cable,
and do Mute-Multiply on the slave.
In some circumstances, that saves the piece 
(but of course, they de-sync again when you overdub)


Andre Lafosse has some sort of Midi Router box, so he can switch 
one midi source to different combinations of edps.
(that might be even better, as you could use it to control edps
together or independently.
