I have a question about song position pointer:
If I create a sequence on my HR16 and then recorda sync track on my 688
(which does SPP) can I then edit the original drum sequence radically,
keeping only the lenght and tempo the same, and have it then sync to
and respond properly to the SPP data I get out of the 688?
Is this implememtation specific?
etc.

Yep, it should work. If it doesn't, what good is it??? 8^) 8^)
I've had three MIDI boxes with SPP and they have all played together
and worked as advertised, i.e. moving the measure on the master unit
caused all the slaves to track along (although there is a lag of a
second or two if the jump is large).
You can also use it so that when you need to punch in a million times at
bar XXX, that your drum box will always jump to the correct part of the
drum track for you.
One of the coolest things in the MIDI spec as far as I'm concerned.

It's easy. Just cue the wrong tape, or load the wrong sequence. It'll even cue into the middle of the wrong sequence. ;^) Seriously, though, I use SPP a lot, and usually long after I've striped the original tape, and performed numerous edits to the sequence. So long as the sequence length in measures is always identical, your only problem is making sure that you don't change the structure of the song. /pjh | |||||
