Re: EDP Brother Sync Question
Hi Matthias - thanks for the response. I have a few responses to your
responses - please see below. I know this is going to be a little texty
but
I have decided to leave it all in in case anyone else wants to follow
along.
The new responses are proceeded by "B-".

B- I don't think it is the Loop 3 Manual. Brand new echoplex (I traded
up)
and the manual though un-dated, says Digital Pro Plus. I looked at the
Aurisys Loop IV upgrade manual (from their website) but couldn't find
anything pertinent. Do you know where I can find the newer manual online
if
this isn't it?

B- I think I understand. The re-align function looks useful.
