[DISCLAIMER: I don't have either a Boss DR-660 or the Peavey Midi
Librarian.]

I'm not sure what kind of data is being sent between the DR-660 and the
Peavey Librarian.  However, a number of MIDI conversations can occur using
either "open loop" or "closed loop" acknowledgements.

Open loop requires only a one-way connection between the dumper and the
dumpee.  Open loop is kind of a monologue.

Closed loop requires two one-way connections between the dumper and the
dumpee (one connection for each direction).  Using closed loop, the devices
dialogue between each other.

Closed loop transfers are generally quite a bit faster.  If you can use it
for your situation, you might want to try it out.

...or you can tell some jokes in the deadtime.
