Thanks Kim, I'm working with someone currently that is asking me to give him loops a certain length, at a certain BPM, and in a certain timings, sometimes in polyrhythms. Usually odd timings. I'm experimenting with the odd timings currently. I figured I needed to use quantized functions but I wasn't sure. Thanks again for your help. It's nice to know there is someone out there who can and will help you out when you run up against a brick wall trying to figure something out on the echoplex. The echoplex will definitely open up many new possibilites for me than trying to use two revoxes and an old 4 track Dokorder like I started on, or my old Electro Harmonix 16 sec digital delays. I actually bought the Echoplex because of its sound quality compared to other units. I had no idea som many things were possible with it. Thanks again. All the very best!
