This usually works just fine because you can sort of pass the beat around as you segue from one thing to the next, leapfrog style. Makes for good variety and each member gets their chance to build their own composition... That said... It's extremely hard to really match tempos when tapping in 4 - 8 - even 16 beat phrases... but the longer the phrase the more likely you'll be able to hang together rythymically for at least a couple or more repeats. That's why (when not synched via midi) super long phrases are sometimes the way to go. Now with the EDP and it's quantize functions, I've heard that using a short segment and using insert or multiply to increase the length actually will keep it more accurately synched to a clock... midi I presume. But unsynched is another story. It's actually quite humorous (and daunting) how quickly a short phrase can cartwheel out of time despite an insanely concentrated effort to accurately tap it in. It's amazing! Now and then you can really nail it, but it's pretty tough. Best Regards, Miko Biffle, mbiffle@svg.com "Running scared from all the usual distractions..."
