In LoopIV you can set tempos in advance of recording a loop using the TempoSelect feature. These tempos can then be saved in a preset. In this way, you can recall a predefined tempo by simply sending a midi program change command to select that preset. (or select it from the front panel while in reset.) Once you have a tempo set, you can also fine tune it in the TempoSelect mode. Check the LoopIV manual for details. >I have noticed that often times for me it is difficult to tap the correct >tempo with my foot, especially when maybe all that is needed is a beat or >two speed up or down to get the tempo closer. consider tapping record to be a musical action, like playing a note. practice tapping in rhythm. You might also try setting the 8ths/cycle value to something like 2, so that a cycle is equal to one beat. >Also, since I would like to use my EDP as the master tempo source for my >entire rig (effects, etc.) I would like to adjust the EDP tempo without >having to necessarily use it for looping.

(make sure you have sync=out). Also, using the TempoSelect feature you can set a tempo and have the Echoplex send midi clock without recording a loop. (and again, you can use a preset to do this.) You can then command it to send a StartSong message to start up other devices. You can then record a loop on the EDP later if you want, locked to your tempo. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
