more Boomerang questions



My thanks to all for answering my Boomerang questions, especially Michael
and Todd!

I have more questions.  These are about Version 2.

1) Canceling loop to loop switching.
Say that you've recorded Loop A and B.  Now you're playing back Loop A, you
press A/B, and the Loop 'b" LED starts to blink.  If you didn't change
anything, then the Boomerang would switch to Loop B when encountering the
end of Loop A.

But say that you press A/B again (before the end of Loop A).  Does it
"cancel" the forthcoming loop switch?  If so, does the Loop 'b' LED stop
flashing?  And can you cancel the cancel by pressing A/B again?


2) Does each loop have its own REVERSE setting?
Say that you've recorded Loop A and B.  Can you set B to play reversed and 
A
to play forward?  So that, for instance, when A is playing forward, you can
press A/B and when B starts, it is playing backwards?


3) Does each loop have its own End of Available Memory indication?
Say that you've recorded Loop A and pressed STOP.  You switch to Loop B 
(via
a press on A/B) then start to record it.
You run out of memory while recording Loop B and all the LEDs turn-in.  Is
Loop A unchanged?  What happens if you press A/B at this point (with all 
the
LEDs on)?

Alternatively, could you press PLAY(STOP) to start playback of Loop B, then
PLAY(STOP) again to stop Loop B, then A/B to switch to Loop A, then
PLAY(STOP) to start playback of Loop A?


4) How does STACK interact with loop switching?
Say that you have STACK set for latching behavior, you've recorded both
Loops A and B, and you're playing back Loop A.  Now you press STACK and
start overdubbing into Loop A.  What happens when you press A/B?  Does the
Boomerang switch to Loop B at the end of Loop A?  If so, are you 
overdubbing
(stacking) into Loop B?


(So many questions...)
