Sync FA06 to DAW

Post by BobF »

While exploring the various capabilities of the FA06 and ways to use it in conjunction with a DAW, I've discovered a bit of a snag.

What I have is a few tracks in the FA. I want to build out the drum tracks and record guitar parts in the DAW. Rather than do the track exports now, I have the FA sync'd to the DAW so the transport controls on the DAW control FA playback. Everything works great EXCEPT for looping. When the DAW reaches the end of a looped section and goes back to the beginning of the loop, the FA continues forward instead of positioning back to the loop beginning with the DAW.

SPP appears to function correctly in other scenarios ... I can position the DAW to any measure, start playback and the FA positions and follows perfectly. The transition from loop end back to loop beginning is the only thing that isn't working correctly.

Anybody else doing anything similar to this and found a fix?
