I have the same problem, in fact I have the kaossilator pro and I can command it with the 45000 but I can’t do the other way! (About controlling the tempo with one master) please help! The thing is I can’t see numerically the bpm’s in the 45000 when it is commanding, so I’d like to command the tempo with the kaossilator.. Thanks for your help.

i dont have a kaoss pad, but you would want to go into the utilities/preferences/etc of the machine and select a “MIDI out” option of sorts. once the KP is set up to receive MIDI information, you want to follow the steps that i mentioned, ext clock flashing, quantize then start MIDI clock on the KP and you should be able to loop if all of this is set up right. the “play” LED on the foot controller of the looper will flash rapidly if it cannot sync to the MIDI clock.

i dont know how well this will work and like i said, i dont have a KP so i am not sure exactly how to do it step by step, but that would be the theory. ALSO, from what i understad, kaoss pads only will sync the TEMPO and not the loops themselves.

i am not quite sure what you are asking. have you been able to use it in beat-sync mode successfully?

to MIDI-sync, and NOT completely control it as a slave, just using the the external MIDI clock to sync the looper:

-unplug the pedal and plug it back in
-make sure you are sending MIDI externally to the 45000’s MIDI input
-press the “ext. clock” button once so it is lit, then press it again so it is blinking
-press “quantize” button next to it
-press “new loop”

*if the looper is not receiving MIDI clock in this mode, or if the clock is being picked up and not correctly syncing, the green “play” LED on the control pedal will be flashing very rapidly. in order for the pedal to successfully sync, you must have the MIDI master clock stopped, at the beginning of the song, pattern, set, etc. once you start the MIDI clock on the master, if everything is set correctly on the looper you should be getting good sync. the “clix” LEDs should be beating on time.

i have noticed a few bugs with this pedal. sometimes after a while of use, the MIDI clock sync will become unstable and the pitch/time will waver drastically. i have noticed the “clix” LEDs still generally flashing on beat, but the downbeat (two LEDs) will start lighting on other beats instead. this is alleviated 90% of the time by unplugging and plugging the looper back in, and restarting the master MIDI clock (this is imporant, if you are in the middle of a set the pedal will NOT go back into sync unless the master MIDI clock goes back to the start).

wait are you controlling the 45000 with the GCX via MIDI? it seems like the 45000 only does either/or–beat-sync, or full MIDI slaving. what you are describing sounds like the looper still thinks it is in external control mode. and you hit the “EXT CLOCK” button twice, and the LED for it is blinking? that sends it in beat-sync. is the “PLAY” LED on the 45000’s foot controller lit solid green when in beat-sync mode? it will blink rapidly if there is an issue with the looper receiving MIDI.

when you say the looper blinks i assume you mean the “RECORD” button on the foot-controller? normally if you press that button again, the loop will start recording, and continue recording until hit the “PLAY” button next to it.

if this still persists maybe try using a different MIDI-clock source than the eventide?
