RE: new to list- repeater question



Evan-
I think the original question was about the Repeater having a bump with 
sustained notes over the loop boundary, not the RC-20. I haven't tried 
this 
in a while with the Repeater but I do remember hearing such a problem with 
it. (did they fix that with the upgrade? I can't remember...)  As I 
remembered it, you would get it even after the initial loop record, when 
just overdubbing through the startpoint of the loop.

I don't know how the RC-20 handles these loop boundary cases. The 
technique 
you describe below might minimize it some, but it definitely wouldn't fix 
such a problem. They really have to do something in hardware/software 
specifically for this loop boundary case to avoid it. (zero-crossing, 
cross-fading, etc.) I would be interested to know if the rc-20 actually 
does do anything like that, can anybody tell? Also, in the RC-20, is it 
possible to go directly from recording the initial loop to overdubbing on 
top of it?
