Syncing Arps from Polar to drummers click

[Analogaddict]

Can't you sync the Virus clock to incoming audio? In that case, just route the click track to the appropriate input on your Polar...

I've tried the live tap tempo method, it's very difficult. Also, you need to "match" your 1st beat with the 1st beat on the track, and that doesn't just happen by itself...

hmmm, i'm not sure exactly what the above porter is suggesting, but I guess you could rewrite your patch as a line-in patch, and then it would be triggered by the clicks in the click track, but this could be very limiting, and no less tricky than learning to play it perfectly.

yea I'd thought about routing the click back into the Polar so it could sync to that but I just haven't had time to try out every option. I've had to settle for the practice, practice, practice option and even at that, one tiny mistake and the whole song falls apart! It makes for a nervous show but i'm going with it for now until I fulfill a few gigs comming up this week. I'll try to see this through in the next few weeks and if the planets align i'll post the configuration on here. TBH I have a few more pressing problems that I hoped someone on here could help me with....posted in new thread.

I have just started using arps live on the stage. It has been working for me to dial bpm. Its kind of like learning a new way/style of thinking for me, I am getting pretty good with it, especially training my mind to key on the click. My only problem now is the drummer bumping the $&^%%@%# tempo knob and not realizing it....
