Hi Per,

Thanks for trying to help me out.
No I haven't tried setting the switch quant to some
value. What value should I set it for?

I will try that.

I've tried using the echoplex as a master and slave
and had similar problems.

I don't really care which is the master or slave as
long as it works and stays in sync. Which way stays in
sync best?

Ideally it would be nice to be able to start a song
I'd programmed on the drum machine with a four count
countoff, then hit record on the echoplex and start
recoring along with the drum machine right away. Then
I'd like to be able to use the echoplex as I normally
would and it stay in synce with the drum machine even
if I played for 45 minutes which I frequently do. 

All the very best!
Terry
