Hey I'm looking into a hardware delay box. Now this might just be a dumb question, but the only way I'll buy a hardware delay box is if it has a tempo-synced delay IE I can set the delay to 4ths, 8ths etc etc.

Are there such units out there?

I dont want anything special, just a tempo synced delay.

How would this bad-bitch be set up? I'd assume if it would happen it would be midi..maybe clock to host sequencer on a midi output from PC..fuck knows I'm probably dead off.

Thanks alot guys

i think that's a pretty common feature with most delays these days.
i know my lexicon mpx 100s have that but i just use tap-tempo.....you know... just to maintain my high-standard sloppiness...one less cable and less programming.
basically it's midi-in and you select the parameter.

well yeah, many units will take clock from host today. but you can always use a bpm/ms calculator to sync it yourself

MPX actually responds to midi clock, too

honestly..have a look at the Line6 Echo Pro, man. Just...try one out if you can. full midi sync, and many many different delay types

digital, of course...but...for the price? shiiiiit. Ive seen em for less than $200 here

the line-6 delay seems to have the greatest array of settings.....and simply looks bitchin....

but i've read unanimous reviews about their distortion claiming it is the noisiest unit around.
so check out those outputs....first.

my mpx500 syncs like total shit. it's easier just to imitate the sound at regular intervals with your mouth. doesn't warrant the term 'sync' at all.

oh.. and you can't enter the bpm.. either has to 'capture' it by 'sinking..' (might provide temporary amusement) or by tapping, which imo is a pos to tap 118 and it comes up 119 oh fuck do it again and give me a fucky knob with it on.

nice sounding unit tho.

craig...if someone wants just delays, the D-Two would be better in that series than the M-One probably

xoxos...I had an MPX100 long ago, and it seemed to sync up just fine to midi clock...

maybe your clock source is unreliable?
