I specifically designed the function RETRIGGER: CONTINUOUS
to be able to re-sync, manually, so that people using loopers with live 
bands or even other loopers that don't support synchronization can play 
together.

about the practice, practice, practice comment:   I've always maintained 
in interviews that
I've learned more about time and timing than playing with all the master 
drummers from different
cultures that I've played with, allthe click tracks, sequencers and drum 
machines that I've played
to over the years, combined!


I've done many, many shows with my brother where I just used the 
judicious use of loop composition and a Line 6 DL-4 and it's clumsy 
retriggering abilities to make it appear that he and I were synced.

Good luck, yours,   Rick
