Hi, More experimentation. I press play on the SR-16 and the parameter lights are in sync with the kick drum - each light flashes sequentially as the panel freaks out! The MULTIPLE light is red. Sync is IN. The BPM of the SR-16 is 106. EDP is set to 8ths. Anyone have any idea what is happening? The SR-16 and the EDP are set to channel one. This sure is fun.
