RE: AW: AW: looking for looper that syncs to real drums

[max valentino <ekstasis1@hotmail.com>]

This is what I frequently do when looping with groups..tho good monitoring 
of loopage is still important. As is having a drummer who can trust you to 
catch the drift..or even roll with it a bit.
 At the Y2K5 Festival, Bernhard Wagner and I did a couple of improv duets 
he on his edp and me with my JamMan...no sync between us. As bits would 
drift we had the option of either letting things go and seeing what 
developed or forcing a "manual" restart of the loop.  We both opted for a 
combination of both options.
