    Hi guys,

    I recently started importing some new rythm tracks in the 22500. I followed the instructions provided and everything seemed to work properly. I mean, the imported rythm tracks work well, the blinking of the “Rythm” and “Tap on” buttoms follow perfectly the beats, etc.

    HOWEVER, when I record my guitar in either loop A or B, after a few bars there is a clearly increasing mismatch between the recorded music and the imported rythm loops. Looks like the music tends to go a tiny little bit slightly slower than the rythm, with the result that after a few bars the thing is unmanageable, you simply can’t keep playing live on top of this mixture, you can imagine, with the loop going in one direction and the rythm in other one.

    Is it there anything I could do before returning my unit back to the shop -it is well within guarantee time-.

    Note: I updated the firmware to the recently released version this year-.

    Thank you from Spain,

    Oscar

    Did you update the tempo setting inside the TEMPO.TXT file located in your LOOP folders with your Rhythm files? Does the tempo setting match the tempo that the Rhythm files were created at?

    If the tempos match then the problem is most likely because your Rhythm files are not exact beat or bar lengths. Meaning if your Rhythm files are supposed to be 2 bars, maybe they’re actually just slightly longer than 2 bars, this mismatch would cause the audio loops that you record to go out of sync with the Rhythm loops you imported. Use a DAW to create Rhythm files that are exact bar lengths.

    Thank you for your quick answer. Regarding the first point yes, I did the tempo update in the text file.

    Regarding your second comment, I took my rythm patterns out of a Boss MicroBR digital recorder. I recorded there four bar samples of different on-board rythm patterns; this machine allows to precissely cut bar lenghts at specific points, so I think this should not be an issue.

    However the rythm files are somewhat large -I don’t have them in front of me, but I would say a couple of MB- as compared with the few kB 22500 factory patterns. Might be the case that handling such large files causes some slow processing by the 22500 electronics, and in consequence the syncronization mismatch that I’m experiencing?

    Best regards!

    If you like, you can email or Dropbox your entire Loop folder for one of your rhythms to info@ehx.com and we can check the files.
