UPDATE: Re: Lexicon MPX G2 stupid clock



I've been in touch with their tech support and for some reason when I 
say, "I'm getting a clicking sound at the lop point, can you send me a 
new rom even if it doesn't address this bug?  I get a response that 
says nothing about the new OS.  I'm going to try calling them on Monday 
and see what they say on the phone.  A woman I spoke to said it was as 
easy as calling them up with your SR#, but I didn't have it on me at 
the time.  I guess there's a new ROM for the R1 controller as well.

But more importantly, this morning I did some rewiring of my studio, 
fixing my previous problem with the MIDI splitter's power supply 
getting yanked.  The result?

Perfect loopage with the G2 receiving clock from a Roland MC-307.  
Here's how I do it:

MIDI out of the 307 into a MIDIman Thru 1X4

one out into the Repeater

one out into the MPX R1 foot controller.  (must tell foot controller to 
merge clock "Clo = in")

Out of MPX R1 into MPX G2

Perfect synch AND THE CLICK IS GONE!  Who what where?  HUH?  I'm not 
sure what's going on, but I've been screwing around with it all morning 
and it seems to be fine.  Guitar loops on the G2, synth loops on the 
Repeater.  Sure, the G2 won't chase a tempo that's changing like the 
Repeater will, but for lite looping fun, it's not bad at all.  When I 
get deeper into it, I'll post a review.
