Re: Boss RC50 and MPC midi sync problems!

[Oldfolks Home Music <oldfolkshomemusic@gmail.com>]

Update 2!  So now I have have the MPC as the master.  The click track on both the MPC and RC50 as synced BUT when the sequence in the MPC comes in it's off.  WAY off.  So maybe its not the looper?

Here's an update.  I got the RC50 to sync with the MPC when the looper is running as the master BUT it falls out of sync after a couple minutes.  I'm not sure whether its the looper, the info the looper is sending, the way the mpc is receiving or the mpc unit.  This is so frustrating!

I tried out a 2880 but the problem is that I work in 6/4, 9/7 and other weird times and the 2880 only does 4/4 time.  So I'm screwed!  I wish someone could write a program for the RC50 so that it worked properly because Boss may never do it. 

Any other suggestions?  Any other loopers I should try?  The problem at this point is money and availability of other units.  Does anyone run a similar set up?

Is there a metronome with a midi out that I could use as a master clock to run to both units so that I don't depend on the midi clock in either?   Will that only mean that the RC50 won't accept it anyway!?!?!?
