Re: Oberheim/Gibson Echoplex Synced together?

Gaetano -

I am an owner of an Oberheim EDP and newer beige Gibson EDPs.

With the previous Loop III software, I had a Oberheim EDP and a Gibson EDP
connected together to make a stereo pair and I experienced no
synchronization issues at all.

However, when I upgraded my EDPs to the latest Loop IV software, I
experienced synchronization problems between the Oberheim and Gibson 
models.

There are many very interesting capabilities in the Loop IV software that
make it very worth the upgrade.

I learned from reading Loopers-Delight that the older Oberheim and the 
newer
beige Gibson models can have synchronization problems because of 
differences
in the "crystals" they each use.

Now I have the two Gibson beige EDP's in a pair, and they are both running
Loop IV software.  Unfortunately, since running with Loop IV software these
units will drift from eachother, but much much more slowly than would 
happen
when pairing an Oberheim and a Gibson unit.  It is really not much of a
problem for me, as they drift apart very very slowly.   At times however it
is annoying, but I don't know what to do.
