Re: Dr-880 and Echoplex Synch Issues

["Jim Atwood" <ricoche@axel.ocn.ne.jp>]

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the reply.  I actually reversed everything and now I don't have 
any issues at all.  The info that helped me is located at 
http://www.sweetwater.com/insync/techtip.php?find=05/12/2006 .  It could 
just be the DR-880, but for now the two will not sync very long when the 
EDP 
is controlled by the Drum Machine.  Actually, I feel the way it's setup 
now 
is better for me so I'm quite happy that my new setup works.  Having the 
EDP 
in total control seems to be the ticket...for me anyway.

Thanks again,

Jim
