Re: Controlling Repeater by MIDI... a BUG?

ummm...no.

manual:

Mark:
"The main thing I need to do is cue up a new loop and have it 
automatically 
go into record ****when my current loop is over.****"   (my empahsis again)

notice the difference? I think poor Mark has asked this question about 
Repeater about nine times and people keep saying it can be done. Well, 
Mark, it doesn't work on my Repeater either, and the manual also doesn't 
say it does what you want. When I press record it switches loops 
immediately and starts recording, same as you experience. it does not wait 
for the current loop to finish.

For you echoplex familiar people, this is the same as using the 
SwitchQuant 
function so that loops switch at the end of the current loop, and either 
having autorecord on so that it is automatically recording when you get to 
the new loop, or pressing record during the waiting period so that you can 
choose to go into record when the loop switches. Very handy when you are 
doing more structured music and you want things to be switching very 
precisely on the beat while you are simultaneously playing live. If I 
remember right, does the jamman do something like this too?
