EDP as an Audio Sequencer

[John Metzler <jarofjam@me.com>]

Hello Loopers.

I'd love to hear from some of you who have used multiple EDP's as an audio 
sequencer with a MIDI sequencer/drum machine.  I have an EDP for a Bass 
Guitar and a second one for an Electric Guitar.  I'm programing an MPC 
1000 to send the commands and MIDI Clock to the EDPs.   I'm only trying to 
do simple Verse/Chorus/Bridge stuff.  I'll record a couple of differently 
layered versions of a chorus and a verse and then trigger the loops with 
switch-quantized loop trigger commands to arrange the parts.  I have not 
yet found a reliable way to keep both of the EDP's from slipping out of 
time with each other.  Even brother syncing them slips most of the time.  

Andy and Matthias have both been helpful in pointing out some 
possibilities.  But unfortunately I haven't had any solid luck with any 
method I've tried yet.  I also asked an old list member named Claud Voit, 
but he wasn't into making music with loops anymore.  

Any success stories out there using the same techniques I'm employing?
