Sounds great CQ! I gotta check some of this boxes out i´ve seen many new Roland groove boxes but frankly i am also interested in sequencing samples and not just playing one at a time more of a composition thing,you know? Up until now i´ve been syncing the EDP to my Roland DR.660 but i dont like drum machines too much.slaving the Repeater to the EDP with samples loaded is also a bit complicated at times ,although i havent tried syncing the EDP as slave,how do you set it up? thanx > Louie, the DBeam is an ir midi controller found on > some Roland products > and supposedly, lately available by itself as well. > The MC-505 which I > use, has one which I use to send midi note messages > to pitch loops I've > created with the Repeater.
