Subject: EDP losing sync...
Sad.
I am trying to automate EDP
commands on a sequencer track. It records the first loop fine and will
loop this indefinitely and keep synced to the sequencer. But the minute
I do a NextLoop or try to use a trigger note to move to another loop (with
AutoRecord=On), or even a NextLoop --> Record (AutoRecord=OFF,
Quantize=CYC) the sync lights on the front of the EDP go way off
track. Sometimes I can get the sync lights back on track by sticking a
ReAlign in, but somehow the audio has shifted over and...well, it's enough to
make a man cry.
All I want to do is:
1) Record an eight-bar loop in loop
1
2) Play loop #1 once (for a total
of 16 bars of "A section")
3) Record a four-bar loop in loop
2
4) Play loop #2 three times (for a total of 16
bars of "B section")
5) Go back to loop #1
No tempo changes. No meter changes.
Nothing that should be a problem.
Whatever method I use of getting into loop #2,
however, seems to de-sync the EDP. Sonar is one of those sequencers that
sends clock all the time, whether it's playing or idle. Don't know if
that is a useful clue or not.
If it would help, I can post all the settings
on the EDP, and my MIDI control track as a .MID.
If one of you kind, kind EDP gurus would be
willing to write a MIDI control track to do the above processes, and send
me it, and a list of all the front panel settings you used, I would heartily
thank you. But, that is a lot to ask.
I am planning such sick sick things to do with
the EDP, but if I can't even get it to do this, then...well, the last few
years of my life, conceiving this music and the rig to play it on, are in
vain.
