My continuing quest to synchronize two TSR-8s is still not going well although it's considerably closer.
The TSR-8s are both hooked up to the ATS-500 via the Accessory 2 cables. It is able to drive both machines and appears to be getting tach signals from both.
When put into CHASE mode it will duly bring the machines into alignment.
The problem is after that it is making NO effort to keep the machines in sync. The amber speed light is off on both machines so it would seem that it is not putting the capstan under external control. Any ideas why this might be?
By displaying the relative difference and manually adjusting the capstan on the slave I can achieve a great manual sync (beat perfect on the drums), but it makes actually mixing the song down rather difficult since I have to keep a constant watch on the frame difference and it should not be necessary in the first place
Has anyone got the ATS-500 to actually do what it says on the tin?
