For example, if you have a loop playing and sending out midi clock, you can use the multiply function to make it some multiple number longer. (2x, 3x, 4x, 27x, whatever.) The midi clock stays the same, based on the basic loop length you started with. But your loop is now multiplied longer. You use the 8ths/beat parameter to set how long your basic cycle is in relation to the midi clock. (2 bars, for example). This basically sets the tempo for you. If you sync to midi clock in, this multiplying happens automatically. So if have it set for 8-beats/2bar loops, and you leave the loop record going longer than 2 bars, it automatically notes the 2 bar point as your basic cycle and begins doing that multiply function for you automatically. (you'll see the multiple display count up as 2 bars passes, in this case.) Whenever you end the record, it finishes up the current cycle. In this way, you can easily record long loops in sync to midi clock. It's very flexible and totally designed for this live, real-time sort of use. The machine takes care of everything for you and makes it very simple to use. And in the next software version, we will revolutionize sync with some really great new ideas! ;-) kim >-----Original Message----- >From: johnmcc@aldiscon.ie [mailto:johnmcc@aldiscon.ie] >Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2000 3:33 PM >To: Loopers-Delight@annihilist.com >Subject: DJ'ed > > > >> I have waited (too!) long for a looping device that sends MIDI clocks to >whatever sample you've made >> at your turntable/CD/sampler.
