RE: Of percussion, Repeaters, and MIDI clocks



Hi Mark,

I'll list my personal experiences what works and what doesn't when syncing
to the Repeater. Note that all the devices mentioned work perfectly when
synced to a Quasimidi Sirius (techno workstation, my "drum machine"). I
didn't try any other clock sources.

Quasimidi Sirius        - perfect
TC D Two - perfect
TC FireworX - some slight clicks in delays sometimes
Roland VBass - massive clicks in all MIDI-synced effects all the time - 
it's
practically unsusable in this context
Sony HR-GP5 - perfect (delay is only MIDI-synced effect)

As I use a lot of the MIDI-synced stuff of my VBass, I can't use my 
repeater
for the MIDI clock source. This leaves (given the layout of my MIDI setup)
several (intelligent) possibilities: Sirius, VBass. Currently, I use the
Sirius, but this way, I can't tap the tempo by foot, so I'll experiment 
with
the VBass a little...anyway, I'd prefer using the Repeater as the clock
source, to make use of the fantastic varispeed effect...
