in other words, you will have the sequencer as the sync master. It will be 
sending the clock and startsongs. The echoplex will be receiving the 
clock, 
and not sending start/stop messages.

that is wrong as noted before, although it wouldn't make any difference 
for 
you if the echoplex is the slave to the sequencer.

I think you will find the sync functions of LoopIV are extremely useful 
for 
what you want to do, compared to LoopIII. You can check the manual on the 
LoopIV page:
