Seeking Infinity Looper wizards

i guess this is also a belated NPD post--just got a decent deal on a used one with remote. I really like it so far. Basic functions are super easy to use. In terms of fun and ease of use level, this is up there with the Boomerang.

But I have questions from jamming with someone today:

1. Is there a way to get loop 1 to sync to loop 2? The manual talks about syncing loop 2 to loop 1 but this is a little different. I got a melody and overdubs going on 1, bassline on 2 (synced) and then wanted to replace the melody and overdubs on 1. I had stop set to armed track only. But when I erased loop 1 and started recording something new on it, it was totally out of sync with loop 2.

2. I tried syncing via MIDI to my H9. But I can't figure out how it determines the start of a measure, so it was a little hard to count in.... I thought it would be easier in time with a delay, but it wasn't.

TIA.

 

Thanks Adam.

1. Let me try and explain. I start the song on Loop 1. Record melody (A) and overdub (melody B). Bass line is on loop 2, in parallel. I turn off loop 1 to do a new melody (melody C) over the bass line. Now I want to loop it, so I erase the original loop 1 by holding down the stop button. Stop mode is "arm." When I record a new loop of Melody C on loop 1, it is not in sync. Is there a way to keep loop 1 in sync with loop 2 (or the old loop 1)?

2. H9 is master, sending MIDI clock, Infinity is slave. I get the flashing light as a visual metronome, but I'm not good with visual metronomes....

 

The need for the beat buddy is obviated by a live drummer. But I fixed the MIDI problem by switching MIDI sync modes per the manual.

The erase and replace loop 1 issue persists.
