RE: Loop IV and the Online Manual



Well, I haven't tried it yet, so maybe everything will work without
modification--but it seems to me I moved the default settings around a
lot--First MIDI command is 56, and the Loop numbers start at 36 (there was 
a
reason, seems like it had to do with the range of the Ztar).
But as I say, nothing but time between me and mastery of the new OS!  It
certainly seems to be capable of twice as much fun stuff--lots of useful
features, and mayhem for those who prefer mangling . . .  (Real time
Granular hmmm?)

Hi Gary, thanks for the good words!

which of your existing midi commands do you think won't work in LoopIV? We
tried pretty hard to make sure the existing midi commands from LoopIII
would all still work the same, while adding new stuff around it. Is there
something unclear about that in the documentation or something that really
won't work?

You should be able to move to loopIV fairly transparently and add the new
things as you are ready. We struggled a lot to preserve everything about
LoopIII and build upon it, rather than fundamentally change anything that
was already there. So you should be able to plug it in and start in a
completely familiar place as if it were still LoopIII, and then go about
discovering all the neat stuff that makes it LoopIV.
