He's got my doubleneck and is replacing the board so I can get the upgrade (mine was too old--he says it's tough to rewrite code for old microprocessors), and I hope to have the unit by the end of the week. I've been using it to control the Echoplex already, and if all goes well with this upgrade and the EDP upgrade (coming soon?), I should be able to clock the looper to the MIDI looper. OK!!!! BTW, he's got a demo Z6 !!in stock!! under specials--for those of you looking for a quick fix, this is the time--usually ya gotta wait for the dang things--we need to clone Mr. Starr . . .

Sorry to be so Off Topic, but now I've seen evidence that at least three other of you have Roland Handsonics, and I was wondering if you've done any exploring of the odder possibilities of the beast. F'rinstance: I imagine for loopers, there'd be a big temptation to fiddle with the option that allows pads to be programmed as sequence triggers. Has anybody tried that? Variations would include the "start sequence" setting and the "play next sequence event" setting (I forget what Roland calls that officially.) --- * just-john@just-john.com http://just-john.com/cn/rfe.shtml *
