Re: Electrix/IVL petition



  Mark, you mentioned the Groove Box, and I was curious, since I'm using
Repeaters with an MC-303 currently, and am planning very soon, to upgrade
to the 505, how well  it synches?  I'm also curious if the 307 is newer
than the 505 and how it's feature set would compare, if you have an idea.
Lastly, does it send Program change messages, and CC messages?...  The 303
doesn't.  Go figure!...  lol!  -Thanks bunches, for any info you can
address.  

Smiles,

G-Girl
