ECLIPSE looping algorithms are basically delay based loopers, NOT 
further data accessing algos or sampler based, like Jamman, Echoplex or 
mighty Repeater. They are closer to a pcm42.
So even the best midiclock sendin unit has some slight shit in the 
value, meaning that the audio in the looping delay gets screwed up by 
this sync. You know about this issue, being it about a different 
algorithmic approach.
Even tough ECLIPSE is not a looper in the JM,EDP, Repeater style, I 
still suggest its use as a looping device, seen what great things Torn, 
Fripp and Brook have done with similar technology and still do!
40 sec is not bad.

Please, read my previous answer to Matthias.
Thank you.

Yes, Alex. Lfos will stay in dead sync with a drum machine sending 
midiclock to Eclipse! No doubt.
