When I talked to Bob for 5 minutes or so that day, I got the impression he
was very busy. He said it was funny that I had called about the Upgrade
because he had just fired off a new eprom to try out for the upgrade the
night before.
One other thing he said that I had forgotten in my original post, was about
the stereo loops and how you could pan them too! I got the impression this
whole upgrade thing might still be a little while, because licensing the
software from Lex had to be worked out. If you do email him, ask him what
time frame for the upgrade and what new things are being implemented.

Trev, I want to make sure I understand you. Do you mean have the backwards
sample loop around with out having to trigger it via footswitch ? I'm not
sure. You can't play loops backwards, you can only play backwards in the
sample mode (one pass sample which means no layering, etc.) Also I'm not
sure but I think the MIDI clock, which runs sequencers and drum machines,
doesn't work in the sample Mode only in either of the Loop Modes.
