8ths/Cycle Continued MIDI CLOCK LIMITS There is a limit to how fast the Echoplex will transmit MIDI clocks—the equivalent of about 400 beats per minute. If you create a loop that’s 1/2 a second long with 8ths/Cycle=16, then that 1/2 second will represent 2 measures, or 8 beats. Since there are 120 1/2 seconds in a minute, each with 8 beats, the effective timing would be 960 beats per second, which isn’t very common in musical usage, and won’t be transmitted by the Echoplex. The moral: short loops and high values of 8ths/Cycle don’t mix. In older versions of the Echoplex hardware the 8ths/Cycle parameter was labeled 8ths/Beat.
