Hey, I don't think the 307 is newer, just "the next model up." It does indeed send CC messages, so I keep it on a separate midi channel to keep it from driving the Repeater nuts. I'm not sure if it sends program change... but you can probably read about it in the manual, which is a .pdf download at www.rolandus.com I really do like the 307, for the most part. I wish it had velocity sensitive pads for programming, but I bought a cheap midi controller that does the trick. It's got some pretty cool sounds. A lot have criticized it, and there aren't very many great acoustic sounds, but very nice "odd" stuff. Probably similar to the 303. Other nice features are it's tempo slider, which can be set to act like a turntable, or just affect tempo or pitch separately, which the repeater will chase. Fun. Since OS 1.1, I've never had tempo synch issues with the 307 driving the Repeater.
