I've two units of EDP and they have the same problem. >Anyone has similar experience? Well, that should work. (It's always worked great for me, anyway...:-) check the following parameter settings: SwitchQuant = CYC Quantize = On Sync = IN 8ths/beat = something appropriate to your sequence Sounds to me like you might have SwitchQuant off? Also, watch the sync LEDs. While the clock is going you should see the dot on the far right of the numeric display blink at each cycle point. That tells you the echoplex is seeing the clock. Once you have a loop going, you should see the second-from-the-right dot blink at the same time as the rightmost one, at the startpoint. That one blinks each time the echoplex syncs the loop with the clock, at the start point. It should remain consistent with beginning of the bar of your sequencer (or whatever time increment you use). It shouldn't get off when you switch loops either, unless somehow you are switching out of time, without waiting for the echoplex to switch it automatically at the sync point. Or it could happen if you force one of the other loops to record out of sync (by pressing record again during the period when it is waiting for the sync, which is sometimes useful.) kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
