Re: Help needed w/echoplex ARRAY
excellent also. I'll see what todd wants to do. I dont' know if the
other product suggest is smoke/mirrors for our app or if it's real
expensive but if he goes with the edp I'll keep this advise around.
Yeah I figured doing the brother sync for the stereo pairs. The midi
out to in ...I guess means that each unit generates a sync signal to the
out that reflects what's coming in which is good. We'll get back to it
soon and try this while I have the units here in any case. -Bob
