interesting distinction, though we've been using the term sync for years 
so I don't suppose that will change.

With Matthias, I called it "Hard Sync" because as well as getting the tempo
there's also adjustments at the loop point.
...but then he's probably forgot ;-) so it's just my affectation.

(just working out the right loop length is never enough on it's own)

Matt says the edp will sync to an audio track with a strong beat,
as long as level is set well.
