Per, My application is fairly simple... trying to slave my LP1 to Ableton's MIDI clock. Always starts well but drifts to unacceptability after 100 bars or so. I would be as happy to find a 'meta' clock that could feed Ableton and LP1 and whatever else in parallel... but not sure whether the fault lies with Ableton or LP1 anyway... Jeff, You are right that website is almost un-navigable... It does have an oldschool Internet Explorer, gif-background vibe :) But... if poorly designed websites were the determining factor there are many solutions I would never have found. Anyway, I'm not averse to trying new stuff but at the prices they are charging for their gear, it better make me sandwiches while I play. Without a ringing endorsement from you folks, I suspect I'll leave it alone :) Here's another audio-based solution: http://m.matrixsynth.com/2010/04/rv0-sync-unit-dc.html But this moves into unfamiliar territory for me and I hesitate to invite another devil to the dance...
