EDP Alesis Stumped



Hmmm.
It just got stranger.
If, with AUTORECORD on,  I end recording loop 1 by hitting next loop and
immediately record loop 2, the Alesis and the EDP will stay in perfect sync
when switching between the two loops.
If I end loop1 by pressing record again then I will eventually have my sync
problem.
I'm including a copy of my original post below.
I'm hoping this all sounds familiar to someone.
Thanks!!!
Michael

Original Post:
Sigh.
I've read the manual. I've searched the archives. You are my only hope.
SYNC=in
QUANT=loop
SWITCHQUANT=loop
8THS/CYCLE=8
MORE LOOPS=2
SAMPLERSTYLE=run
My Alesis drum machine is sending MIDI clock, and is set to a simple 4/4
pattern.
I record loop 1, no problem. I record loop 2, no problem. While playing 
loop
one, I press NEXTLOOP. The Echoplex thinks (000), then changes flawlessly
into loop 2. While playing loop 2, I press NEXTLOOP. The Echoplex thinks
(000), then instead of changing at the end of loop 2, it starts loop 2 over
(even says so on the LED) and gets about one or two beats into the first
measure before changing back to loop 1.
I am losing my mind.
If it's the MIDI clock from the drum machine, then why does it change
flawlessly from loop 1 into loop 2?
I can just turn off the SWITCHQUANT but this means I have to tap NEXTLOOP 
on
the proper downbeat, and I would prefer to let the EDP handle that while 
I'm
busy adjusting my effects pedals.
Help me.
Please, help me.
