Re: EDP as an Audio Sequencer



it's been years since i've had my hands on a hardware edp but i never had problems with brother syncing and i had three edps running together.  might wanna try this (this is how i ran 'em): connect the mpc/midi-generating device to ONE edp, which will be the master.  brother sync the "slave" to the "master".  send basic commands...like just get it to record a ten second loop.  see if they slip out of sync with this basic setup.  this might at least help you locate where shit is breaking down.

never got both to sync properly
use one or both independently is way more fun and less time consuming;-)
