thats mainly a Repeater issue, I would say: it does not accept clock 
faster than 200bpm or so. I dont have one, some owner can tell 
exactly?

But yes, you have to set 8th/beat on the EDP in a way that it 
corresponds to the loop time. If the speed does not end up between 25 
and 350bpm, it does not send any clock.
or better: Allways Record the first loop within a range that fits to 
your 8th/beat and then multiply it, which is also more flexible for 
changes during the piece, keeps your LEDs counting reasonably and 
allows the Repeater to follow!
