Re: Question about multiple looping setup

[William Walker <billwalker@baymoon.com>]

Rick and I have had good luck syncing multiple LP-1's together as long  
as one follows some general parameters. The most important being if  
you intend to switch from one person to the other, as far as who is  
initiating the clock, both musicians need to have a preset available  
for sync record/overdub for acting as the master, and midi sync record/ 
overdub for acting as slave.  Also both musicians need a way to merge  
midi signals, obviously more musicians might necessitate a midi patch  
bay, I shudder at the thought,  but a simple midi merge box or a midi  
pedal or controller  that can merge, like the little giant or FCB1010,  
can get at least  3-4 musicians in sync using.  Also once a piece has  
ended its important to erase all loops to clear the clock so that ,  
whoever starts the next clock doesn't have residual clock info coming  
from another source. Is very easy to get  the LP-1 to sync with  
stability. I've also had good luck syncing an LP-1 to an EDP though  
its been a while and I don't remember  what worked better, LP-1 as  
master or EDP as master.  I'm just as clueless right now about the  
LP-2's sync capabilities, but I would assume from how the LP-1 works  
that it will be equally seamless.
