This really doesn't make any sense. The sync used for stereo is done by a hardware circuit, not software. It is hard to understand how it could be possible for such a sync problem to develop just by upgrading the software to LoopIV. I think it must be that your units had some problem with sync before that you didn't notice, or you are doing something different now that is causing some other problem. Upgrading to LoopIV seems like the least likely reason. >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. Not exactly. There were some sloppy manufacturing runs in the distant past where the clock crystals used were the wrong tolerance spec. Oftentimes they still work fine for sync, but there have been some occasions where those units had problems. It is easy to fix if you are willing to have the service done. (or you can do it yourself if you have the soldering skills. All the new black EDP Plus units use very tight tolerance crystals, better than the original spec. These units are very well made and the sync works fine. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
