No. It sync up if it hears a clock again. I'm not sure how close the clock
has to be, or how fast - or if changing the tempo does anything. Someone
elseasked this question before and asked for me to clrify but I couldn't
find their message later.

I can press play on my SP-808, and have the EDP sync, then stop the 808,
rewind, press play, and have it sync again. I do this all the time when my
songs are too short.
