Orville can do many other wonderful things though, as I'm sure Italo can tell you. >When connecting two EVENTIDE ORVILLES, could I use them the way a pair of >the Gibson echoplex digital pros work when using the brother sync >function? no. BrotherSync is bidirectional, meaning either unit can set the master loop length for the other. You can easily switch back and forth between which one is leading while you play, just as you can with real musicians. BrotherSync also syncs at the sample level, so it is very tight. It also makes it very easy to create loops that are different multiples of each other between the two units, while keeping in sync. The Orville would use midi clock to sync, which is uni-directional. So one device always has to be the master and everything else the slave. You have to reroute the midi flow to change it, and probably reconfigure the units between master and slave. Midi clock is also much coarser so the synchronization is not as tight. This isn't anything to do with the Orville really, but midi. >I play in stereo but I use my Gibson echoplex digital pros as if I were >two separate musicians ... however I like them to be in time together ... >so I use the brother sync function... that's exactly the point of BrotherSync. It was invented because you can't really do that with midi. >Can I sync two EVENTIDE ORVILLES in such a way that they don't have to >loop together but, can sync up as two separate lopers that function in >time together? if you are happy with one always being the master for the other. You also probably wouldn't have the same flexibility to create different loop length relationships on the fly as you can easily do with two EDP's and brothersync. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
