Excellent clarification, thanks. The only question I really have left 
is how tight is the sync? 

>>>Surprisingly very good.  You might hear it drift slightly once in 
awhile, but it's veryg ood at getting the tempo. <<

Does it stay locked at least 90% of the time? 

>>>Yep. Occasioanlyl you may need to 'nudge' it a bit, but they have 
dedicated buttons for this, so it's easy to do.<<<

The reason I ask is because my buddy and I actually kind of 
live remix, where I do fast techno/electro edits on the decks and he 
rocks the drums 90% of the time, so what this means is I kill the 
bass on most of my mixes. Does that lack of bass signal screw up the 
micro?, since its getting the signal off my decks? 

>>>It doesn't just use the bass, it read treble and midrange too.  If you 
want kill the sound of the decks, the Ms will still stay at the same tempo 
until it detects new audio to read, so no worries there.  Or you can put 
it into 'freewheeling mode' which basically pauses the unit from detecting 
new timing info and accidentally changing the tempo say during a drop. <<<

Basically, I need something to keep my attention off trying to lock with 
the 505/etc.  all the time, and focus more on my mixes. If I can do this 
most of the time, then I'm all for buyin this thing. Thanks again.

>>>Yeah, it's not something you can just plug in and forget about, I wish 
it was.  Most of the time it's fine, but like I said once in awhile you 
need to adjust it slightly to match the beat, even though the tempo is 
correct, or nudge it slightly.  I'm in the same boat as you, and this is 
by far the best device I've found to do what we want.  It's not ideal, but 
it works very well 95% of the time.   I say buy it fom a larger chain with 
a good return policy, jsut in case it doesn't work the way you like. <<<
