Re: ANN: Freewheeling Live Looper 0.5.5 Release (Mac OS X / Linux)

Hi,

Nice design! This is the kind of live performance application that  
inspires you to turn the laptop around and have the audience look at  
the screen while you play! Fullscreen mode on my mac is awesome ;-))

I found that you can't start Freewheeling unless you start Jack  
first. Initially I wasn't able to even start Jack. Then I downloaded  
the latest Jack version and both Jack and Freewheling booted.

Downloaded the video tutorials from the site and found them a good  
crash course in Freewheeling.

But I couldn't find out if FW can be set to send out MIDI Clock  
related to the tempo you loop in? Any one found out that yet?
