RE: [xl7] Red Sound Micro Sync

Well, it needs an audio signal to work, so if you're not feeding it any 
audio, then what's the point?  You can manaully enter the tempo via the 
incremetn buttons and then press start.  Maybe I'm not understanding your 
question?  If you don't want it changing the tempo once you have it 
locked, just put it in freewheeling mode.  I do this most of the time for 
best results.  I'll use it to get the tempo of the record, then freewheel 
it the rest of the track.  It's pretty rare to get tempo fluctuations on 
the record itself, so once it has it, the tempo should change until you 
change records.  Then I take it out of FW mode until it sync again, then 
FW, etc....

How do you find your MS's timing when you don't have any audio signal 
being
fed to it? Mine is flakey... I use it to drive an E6400 Ultra, and I can
constantly hear small tempo changes going on when I've got bpm synced
effects running (it's especially noticeable with delays, coz the delay
signal gets detuned slightly if the sync changes, causing a flanging
effect)... If I use my rm1x to generate midi clock, the timing is solid. 
So
it's definitely an issue with the MS...
