this certainly helps to set the looptime the same, but we would not
call it locked, unless you record a clear enough attack at the
beginning of the RC-20 loop which could be detected by BeatSync. Only
then the EDP can continuously correct and stay in sync with the RC-20
otherwise they always fall apart over time.
BeatSync is not really smart at detecting rhythm in music, but you
can help it with a filter and by setting the level right. and if it
detects some beats more during the loop, its not so bad, since the
EDP sync only considers pulses that come within a window arround the
start of the loop.
