Thanks for the tip on tempo controllers, if I can't get a knob on the TD12 to do it I probably can find some other knob within reach. This is really useful, thanks!

Strangely enough, I've now connected things:
td12(master) -> virus -> xl7 -> spd30 -> td12

The note doubling/phasing problem has disappeared. Maybe there was a delay in the chain when it was set up the other way? Now I can hit Record and play drums, and when it loops, I stop playing drums and I hear the playback. I can also overdub like this, so I think I'm getting somewhere at last...

The TD12 (which I've been using as master clock) is located on the drum rack, and it is very convenient to adjust the tempo there (something I do all the time while practicing).
