Loosing MIDI synch (was Re: EDP - Sync With Cubase Problem - Strange)

[Mark Sottilaro <sine@zerocrossing.net>]

Very interesting implementation.  I probably never noticed it, as I 
wouldn't probably be keeping the track in overdub with a feedback of 
more than 70% or so.  Good trick.  Now that I know this quirk, I'll make 
sure I'm stingy with the overdub.  I've gotten used to the Repeater's 
time stretch magic, where it doesn't matter at all how long you keep it 
in overdub, even if your clock changes.  In fact, if you want to have a 
track fade out, you've got to keep it in Record, a "feature" I never 
quite like about the Repeater.  I have learned to fake it with track 
volume control tricks.
