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

[Sergio Girardi <simpliflying@gmail.com>]

Yes, I have asked there too in Gearslutz but got no answer.

Actually I think it is there that I have discovered about Innerclock Systems.

David is also in the Elektron Forums :)

As far as I know there is absolutely no solution to the Octatrack/Ableton sync issues, because both need to be Master (at least the OT needs that when used as a looper) and you cannot have two Masters :)

Somebody told me that the last release of Ableton 8 was much better in syncing. ANd I suppose the 9 is better too. But no idea.

What I know is that Innerclock can solve Ableton sync problems but only if Ableton is Master.

David promised me to test with the OT to see what can be done.

I've heard a lot about great things about Innerclock, too. I'm thinking about taking the plunge to sync my MIDI and DIN stuff up. David has joined several discussions on the Electronic Music forum on Gearslutz. A lot of people over there swear by them--Expert Sleepers seems to have a few problems but is good for some situations.

You may want to read through some of the threads over there. Lots of OT users over there, too.

It is a mistery for me too, Andy, but you just need a very quick google research to find out how many people spent that money and is extremely happy of their purchase.

If people have sync problems and they buy a 700/800 euro sync device and it does not solve their problem I am sure the web would be full of complains and posts about fraud etc.

I unfortunately was not able to understand exactly how do they do what they do.

In innerclock system page, you will find anyway, I think, quite a lot of info which you probably will be more able than me in understanding.

Then, once you understand, I would be glad if you explain it to me!

Even if, till David will not confirm that the sync problems between Octatrack and Ableton can be solved with his product, I will not buy it.
