RE: What Looper to use for syncing with other loopers/samplers/computers



I do not know Mark, but I think it is not like that. But I would not swear on my sould either, because as I said I still am not sure of how these syncing devices work.
I can just tell you that they are used, as far as I know, especially to sync hardware with software, which is, notoriously, a pain in the A.
Then also for modular synths with midi gears and with software.
WHat I am not sure about is if they are used also to sync two midi hardware capables of sending/receiving midi clock.
But in my understanding (which could be wrong) they are able to improve dramatically the syncing performances of any device (considering that apparently often even a device capable of midi sync is not alway capable of doing that 100% perfectly).
So, for what concern hardware with daw, which was also part of the original question of the thread starter, these devices are optimal as far as I know.
Up to you guys (who have more experience and knowledge than me) the task to research further and read in Innerclock site or write to David to have the ideas clearer about what these product can do for the syncing between midi hardware.

But Sergio, people are wanting to synch lots more together than just Loopers... synths, effects and loopers... Andys point is that if the Looper is able to synch, then it will have a midi in out port in which case you dont need a external box, just a cable... For connecting between a laptop and a hardware looper, a midi interface is needed for the laptop, and a cable...

It is a mistery for me too, Andy, but you just need a very quick google research to find out how many people spent that money and is extremely happy of their purchase.
If people have sync problems and they buy a 700/800 euro sync device and it does not solve their problem I am sure the web would be full of complains and posts about fraud etc.
I unfortunately was not able to understand exactly how do they do what they do.
In innerclock system page, you will find anyway, I think, quite a lot of info which you probably will be more able than me in understanding.
Then, once you understand, I would be glad if you explain it to me!
Even if, till David will not confirm that the sync problems between Octatrack and Ableton can be solved with his product, I will not buy it.
