Re: Deconstructing LP1 LoopBegin and Quant Locations

Hey Andy :)

- Yes, I am creating the second track by using Play/Stop

- First track is set as master by default, yes.

I have tried so hard to find a way to get the LP1 to play nice with incoming MIDI clock, and I have found some successes; but the quantized workflows seems to be the dead end - I keep going back to EDP/Echoloop for synched, precision, quantize workflows. In fact I am still  constantly amazed at the depth, thoughtfulness, and thoroughness of the design and implementation of the EDP its derivatives. The original EDP should be in a museum somewhere covered in awards. A masterwork really :)

that's right.

Although it will keep tracks that are sync recorded in time
with the master track as long as you don't use reverse or
mess with the track speed
*Now, create new empty loop same length in Track 2.*

if you do this by hitting "Play/Stop" (to create a new empty track)
then Q steps seem to come in the right place,
...er..i think...
I haven't destruct tested that theory yet.
(I'd always got to EDP for Quant Replace, 'cos it works well with Mult)

/Second question: In my tests, I get varied results as how the quantized material relates to the beginLoop point./


/What I think I am finding, however, is that the quantization divisions may instead be generated relative to that arbitrary point in time where an "add quantized content"  event first occurs. It may even be that plus some small delay?  >So, within the loop, the divisions all add up of course, but cannot be counted upon to align either to loopBegin (another arbitrary point?) or to any incoming MIDI time grid./

quite possible


Can anyone confirm or deny?

hope to do more experiments tomorrow night.



Make sure your track for reference time is set as master
(if you didn't already)
