Re: What Looper to use for syncing with other loopers/samplers/computers

[eib halimski <halimzainal@gmail.com>]

i believe this topic has been discussed before and some posted some kind of a central clock device to sync between different brand of loopers which is not possible (i think)

back in 2010 i was hoping to sync between my dl4 and echoplex. well the response i got was it is was not not possible.

i hope something like this is already in the market so that we can set master and slave looper. http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=midimasterclock

Hallo Rick,

as far as I understood, Eib asked about a looper which can be synced with other gears and/or daws.

Anyway, this is also what I am intereste in. I still have here my Boomerang III but it is completely unable to sync with any other device at all.

So I was thinking eventually to a looper which I could use to sync it with my Octatrack of with other gears.

THe looper should be able to loop while slaved (because the Octatrack must be Master, that's a fact, unfortunately).

Can the LP2 do that? Can it sync well to other devices or daw?

And do I remember well or it can work with batteries?

Because I do not really need another stage looper, I need now a street looper with batteries for when I will play in the streets with my friends...

Thanks
