Re: More EDP synch woes!

I will check that, (incidentaly, do I have setting correct for midi IN sync.. If EDP1 is Brothered to EDP2 and the midi clock is going to EDP1, then do I have EDP1 set to IN and EDP2 to OUT? or both IN?)
when both are receiving clock from another device
both should be sync=In.

Maybe it also works with edp2 having sync=Out,
but I can't think of an advantage.
(and i think it may drift)




but during SYNC = IN, What is the the display showing actually, when in reset?
the Cycle time, calculated from the incoming clock and the
8th/cycle value

Is it the length of a loop at the currently set tempo that its receiveing?
no, just the cycle

because isnt that the same whatever the 8th setting?
no

If Im sending EDP 120bpm. then I can't get my first loop (cycle) to be 
anything less than one measure right?
smallest is one beat,
8th cycle=1

In fact I was gonna mention this to those developing Ecoloop (Grob etc) 
that a very cool option would be to be able to divide the incoming tempo 
info from a clock to some division. I for one usually run my EDP very 
fast, routinely having 32 cycles in a bar (I guess in a LaFosse stylee) 
even if it doesnt sound like it, This is difficult when receiving clock 
from another person. I cant exactly ask them to send twice the tempo, 
when they have done all this preparatory work in Abelton for example...
more than what's possible with 8th/cycle?

The Ecoloop has separate subdivision of loop for quantise apart from the 
8th/cycle.
So should do anything you want.

Somewhere along the development path there was the ability to type in the 
number
of cycles in a loop while the loop was running, I think Matt took that out for the first donation-ware edition of Echoloop...but should be back for future editions.
