re[2]: Human drummer:oxymoron?
if you talk to the ppl at electrix, they will tell you that the audio-sync
function is really just for taking loops, and not for syncing recorded
loops to an audio source. my experiments (with the audio out from drum
machines, not human drummers), seem to indicate that the repeater (in this
mode) is speeding up and slowing down a little durring recording (it's
probably easier to hover around the tempo than to nail it exactly...and
not all rhythmic loops are consistent in tempo throughout their duration).
if i try to sync the other drum machines (via midi) to the repeater
syncing to a drum machine audio output, the tempo drifts up and down a
little. with ambient loops, it seems acceptable (although i haven't done
this enough to figure out when it sonds bad), with drum machines and
rhythmic loops, its drag down and catch up.
it would be a nice feature on a future os to have a more solid tempo base
from an audio source, preferably on one of the inputs, and be able to
record loops from the other input (ie, it would be super cool to set up a
mic in a drum circle to sync to the beat, and play/record loops live while
synced).
