Wait, I'm a bit in the dark on this one. The Harmony Central article wasn't clear to say the least. Will this thing do time based delays and modulation based on a midi clock? (note I didn't say "synched") and WILL it synch it's loop via midi? One of the things I like the most about the Electrix Mo-FX is that as soon as it gets clock, it's "synched." >Tardy sez: > >I suppose for those just >looking for a "DL4 with user presets and MIDI", this >will be a >disappointingly user-unfriendly device.
