>>So, is MIDI sync important to you?
Would it influence you to purchase your next looper?
Are you interested in jamming with other loopers and
keeping both loopers in sync?<<
to the first question- yes. & no. sometimes.
to the second- it has been a factor, yes. but it didn't stop us buying DL4's & using them "unlocked". the "old" jamman can be a nuisance when there's a midi tempo change. the repeater just rolls with it. I don't yet know what the 2880 will do....
to the third- there's three of us in my band, all using analogue sequencers & looping devices, & there are midi-clocked-delay effects units too.
but lately the drummer/other-kybd-player has been using our EH 16sdd reissue to record his "toys" & voice into. this is completely unlocked from all the midi stuff, & it's been quite refreshing.
back in 1994, we started to record a piece that revolved around a repeated guitar phrase. the phrase meshed quite nicely with some sequenced synth lines, but since we weren't multi-tracking anything then (purist ethic/particular school-of-improv), the guitarist couldn't let loose with a corresponding lead line or solo. so I set up a delay on our powertran mcs-1 that matched the length of this phrase & gave him a footswitch to "unfreeze" this delay. as the frozen delay drifted out of sync with the sequencers, he would hit the footswitch & re-enter the phrase. this not only got the parts back in sync but, since he had to do this every thirty seconds or so, it prevented him noodling for the entire piece.
we thought to ourselves afterwards "there must be a box you can buy that lets you do this more easily".... & a few months later we had a jamman.
duncan.
