I think the Beat Synch jack gives out a pulse,,i dont know how long your phrases are if it is in the 1-8 second mark you will probably be good out of the box as it where, if not i think you may need to adjust the 8/th parameter on the echopleax so it gives out more or less clicks to suit the lenght of phrase you are playing. anyways, this click is not musical or paticularly nice to listen to ...but it might fill the problem you are having in a crude way. the other option I can see is use any midi based signal generator such as a drum machine or sequencer box to send out a simple constant beat for your band to hear via monitor. for this i would connect the midi out of the edp to the midi IN of the drum box ...then inside the edp set the sync to OUS and the sync on drum machine to IN....OUS means that it will suspend sending the start click until the first loop is closed. you could of course get a metronome that syncs to midi and have it set to OUT with the midi sync set to IN on the edp...then you would all have to have access to the metronome click which creates more issuse and also means its harder for you as the lead performer to break out of this without adjustments. good luck Phill > Date: Mon, 12 May 2008 01:55:21 -0700 > From: lavaspin@yahoo.com > Subject: Echoplex -- Wanted: The optimum way to synch with the rhythm section or vice versa > To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com > > Dear esteemed loopers: > > What's the best way to stay synched with my rhythm > section when using the Echoplex? > > I've scanned the archives (and the manual) and can't > seem to find what I'm looking for regarding synching, > although I'm sure it's there -- just in a form I can > decipher.
